Neurology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the understanding, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. You might be referred to a neurologist if you have specific symptoms, a family history of a neurological disease or disorder or have been diagnosed with a neurological condition. Some of the most common diseases and conditions we treat include:
Our goal is to create an individualized treatment plan and therapeutic program that addresses the underlying cause of your symptoms, reduces symptoms and improves your overall health and quality of life.
In partnership with CNOS, our neurology clinic focuses on the evaluation and treatment of neurological disorders. Our team includes experts in diagnosing, evaluating and treating diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. We provide care for both adults and children, including pediatric neurology services, adult neurology care and neurology services for seniors.
Our services include:
We treat a wide range of conditions that affect the nervous system. While this isn’t an exhaustive list, it includes the most common conditions we see:
Movement disorders are neurological disorders that affect movement and cause abnormal voluntary or involuntary movement. Voluntary movements are intentional, while involuntary movements are unintentional, such as spasms, jerking, tics, shaking and twitches. Our providers treat movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dystonia and more.
Migraines and headaches can be triggered by environmental, biological and physical stimuli. We can help you determine the underlying cause of your headaches and migraines and offer evaluation and treatment that relieves pain and other symptoms and prevents future headaches and migraines.
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder that causes seizures. Seizures are episodes of involuntary movement, abnormal electrical activity in the brain, and loss of consciousness or reduced consciousness. Without treatment, epilepsy and seizure disorders can have long-term consequences that affect cognition, memory, movement and overall health and quality of life. Seizures can also be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition.
A neuromuscular disorder is a disease that affects the peripheral nervous system. You can develop a neuromuscular condition after birth, or it can be an inherited or genetic condition. The most common symptoms are muscle weakness, muscle spasms, muscle atrophy, twitching and spasticity. We specialize in progressive diseases like myopathies, neuropathies, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and more.
A cognitive disorder is a mental health disorder that affects your cognitive abilities, or your ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions and use your judgment. When you have a cognitive disorder, you may have trouble with daily functioning. We offer expert care and individualized therapeutic programs for cognitive disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s, delirium and mild or severe memory lapses.
Diabetes can have significant impact on the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. The most common complication is diabetic neuropathy, which may cause numbness, tingling, burning sensations and pain, typically starting in the feet and hands. Other diabetes-related neurological conditions include autonomic neuropathy, diabetic amyotrophy and increased risk of stroke. We provide specialized care for diabetic neurological complications with comprehensive management strategies to slow progression, manage pain and prevent further complications.
We take a patient-centered, holistic approach to neurological care. We aim to go deeper than just providing surface-level treatment of individual symptoms. Instead, we work closely with patients, their families their healthcare providers and social services agencies to gain a comprehensive picture of physical, mental, emotional and social health. We can then design a multi-pronged treatment program that combines:
When you first meet with us, we will ask you about your medical history and family health history, your lifestyle and diet, your home and work environments, your symptoms and how they affect your life. We will then perform a full neurological examination, including tests of your gait, balance, reflexes, coordination, mental strength, vision, hearing, speech, senses and mental health. We will also do medical imaging and laboratory testing. All of this will help us make an informed, professional diagnosis of your condition or conditions so we can begin designing a personalized treatment program.
We have a team of neurologists and other specialists who are dedicated to personalized patient care and individualized treatment options. Drs. Mei He and Daniel Diaz-Aguilar as well as Maria Azpeitia, NP-C, will work closely with you to identify your needs and help you find lasting solutions.
