Neurology / Adult
Specialists in the Department of Neurology see patients in the areas of adult neurology, rehabilitation, and pediatric neurology.

General adult neurology services are offered along with treatment and/or rehabilitation for stroke, spinal cord and brain injury, movement disorders, sleep problems, aging and dementia, neuromuscular and cerebrovascular disease.

Pediatric patients are seen for general neurology, stroke, movement disorders and epilepsy, in addition to neuro-rehabilitation services and epilepsy monitoring.
