Expert Neurological Care, All in One Place

We provide neurological and neuromuscular care focused on early diagnosis, precise testing, and treatment tailored to you. If you’re dealing with new symptoms or an ongoing condition, we’re here to help you get answers and move forward with confidence.

Diagnostic Testing

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. We offer advanced neurological testing to identify the root cause of your symptoms.

These tests allow us to identify the underlying cause of symptoms rather than treating them in isolation.

 

Treatment Services

Treatment is tailored to each patient based on diagnosis, symptoms, and long-term goals. We focus on both symptom relief and functional improvement.

TeleHealth

TeleHealth Services

TeleHealth allows patients to receive neurological care remotely when appropriate. This is especially useful for follow-ups, medication management, and ongoing monitoring.

TeleHealth visits can be used for:

  • Virtual consultations
  • Follow-up appointments
  • Medication management
  • Ongoing care for chronic conditions

    Specialized care for neurological conditions resulting from workplace injuries.

    Neurological symptoms following a work-related injury require accurate evaluation and timely care. We assess and treat conditions caused by workplace incidents, with a focus on both recovery and long-term function.

    Common work-related neurological conditions include:

    • Nerve injuries and neuropathic pain
    • Head injuries and post-concussion symptoms
    • Repetitive strain and overuse conditions
    • Back and neck injuries affecting nerve function

    Our approach includes comprehensive evaluation, diagnostic testing when necessary, and personalized treatment plans designed to support recovery and help patients safely return to work. We also coordinate care and documentation as needed for workplace or insurance requirements.

    What Sets Us Apart

    Independent neurological evaluations for legal, insurance, and occupational cases.

    Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs) provide objective, medically sound assessments for legal, insurance, or occupational cases. These evaluations are performed without bias and are based on clinical expertise, diagnostic findings, and established medical guidelines.

    An IME may be requested to:

    • Assess the extent and cause of a neurological condition
    • Determine maximum medical improvement (MMI)
    • Evaluate functional limitations and work capacity
    • Review prior treatments and ongoing care needs

    Each evaluation includes a detailed review of medical records, a comprehensive neurological examination, and a clear, structured report outlining findings and professional opinions. Our goal is to provide accurate, defensible medical insights that support informed decision-making.
