What is a Neurologist
A Neurologist is a physician who specializes in disorders of the nervous system including disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Neurologists take care of a wide variety of conditions some of which are common and some of which are very rare. Even with common conditions like migraine and dizziness, every patient has a unique story which makes neurology a fascinating specialty. Everyone knows that all the interesting cases on medical shows on TV are neurological!
Your Visit to the Neurologist
Neurologists know that coming to see us can be an unnerving and even scary thing. Knowing in advance what to expect can help ease some of those worries.
My Black Bag
The exam is an important part of helping your neurologist arrive at a diagnosis for you. We will want to examine you from head to toe, literally. Be prepared to take off your shoes and socks! I keep my tools for the exam in my black bag.
