Specializing in Disorders of the Brain, Spinal Cord and Nerves
Neurology is a branch of medicine concentrated on diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system. Neurologists are highly trained clinicians capable of diagnosing complex conditions through detailed history and physical examination, including testing of mental status, vision, speech, strength, sensation, coordination, reflexes, and gait. Even as medicine becomes more dependent on technology, the neurological exam will remain a critical component of the patient evaluation.
