Neurology

Pediatric neurologists offer expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired neurological disorders in infants and children. We perform pediatric neurological examinations of the nerves of the head and neck; muscle strength and movement; balance, ambulation, and reflexes; and sensation, memory, speech, language and other cognitive abilities. They also perform diagnostic tests to aid in their diagnosis and treatment plan.

Through our partnership with Children’s Memorial Hospital, your child also has access to advanced care and resources, should they require it, in the treatment of such childhood neurological disorders as febrile seizures, autism and muscular atrophy disorders.
