Department of Neurology

Neurology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, which included the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Clinical neurology is moving in new and exciting directions as we continue to increase our knowledge of the human nervous system. Ever expanding neurodiagnostic techniques and innovative treatment modalities have ensured that neurologists now can clarify and control neurological disorders with remarkable results. Advances in neurological treatments for stroke, epilepsy, demyelinating diseases, neuromuscular disorders, and genetic neurological illnesses have led to incredible improvements in the morbidity and mortality of our patients.
