Neurology

Advanced Neurological Care for Brain, Spine & Nerve Health.

Comprehensive evaluation, cutting-edge treatments, and coordinated rehabilitation for every neurological condition.

The Neurology Service provides state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and evidence-based therapies for both acute and chronic neurological conditions. Through multidisciplinary care boards, advanced neuroimaging, and subspecialty programs (stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, MS), we ensure rapid and integrated treatment plans. We also coordinate smooth transitions for rehabilitation or long-term management.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Do I need a referral for neurology?

Self-referrals are welcome, though some insurers require prior authorization.

Can all strokes get thrombectomy?

Eligibility depends on imaging and time since onset. Perfusion imaging guides decisions up to 24 hours.

What if medications don’t control my epilepsy?

Drug-resistant epilepsy is evaluated for surgery, laser ablation, or neurostimulation.

Do you offer virtual visits?

Yes, follow-up for stable conditions and medication management is available via secure video.
