Your Neurological Health Is Our Priority

Ambulatory EEG testing is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that continuously records the electrical activity of the brain over an extended period, usually ranging from 24 to 72 hours, while the patient goes about their normal daily routine. Unlike a standard in-office EEG, which captures brain activity for a short time in a controlled setting, an ambulatory EEG allows physicians to observe brain function during real-life situations such as sleeping, working, and performing routine activities. This extended monitoring significantly increases the likelihood of capturing abnormal brain activity that may not appear during a brief test.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers (myelin), disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Because MS can present with a wide range of symptoms—such as fatigue, weakness, vision problems, numbness, balance issues, cognitive changes, and mood disturbances—a thorough and comprehensive neurological evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves are responsible for sending sensory information, such as touch, pain, and temperature, to the brain, as well as controlling muscle movement. When these nerves are damaged or not functioning properly, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms. Common symptoms include numbness, tingling, burning sensations, sharp or shooting pain, muscle weakness, poor coordination, or sensitivity to touch. Symptoms may begin gradually and often start in the hands or feet, sometimes progressing upward over time.

Botox is a well-established, FDA-approved treatment widely used for managing chronic migraines and neuromuscular disorders associated with muscle spasticity. It has been extensively studied and proven effective for patients who experience frequent, debilitating headaches or muscle overactivity that interferes with daily functioning. When used therapeutically, Botox works by blocking the release of certain chemicals involved in muscle contraction and pain transmission. This action helps relax overactive muscles and interrupts pain pathways, reducing both discomfort and functional limitations.

A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a diagnostic test that measures how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit electrical signals throughout the body. Nerves play a vital role in carrying messages between the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. When a nerve is damaged or compressed, these signals can slow down or weaken, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of coordination. An NCS helps physicians accurately identify the source of these symptoms.

An occipital nerve block is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure used to relieve pain associated with chronic headaches, migraines, and occipital neuralgia. These conditions often originate from irritation or inflammation of the occipital nerves, which run from the upper neck to the back of the scalp and play a key role in transmitting pain signals from this area. When these nerves become overly sensitive or inflamed, patients may experience persistent head and neck pain, scalp tenderness, or headaches that radiate toward the forehead or behind the eyes.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy is an established treatment option for patients with epilepsy who do not achieve adequate seizure control with medication alone. Many individuals with epilepsy continue to experience seizures despite trying multiple anti-seizure medications, and VNS therapy offers an additional, non-pharmacological approach to help improve seizure management and quality of life.

VNS therapy involves the surgical implantation of a small medical device, similar in size to a pacemaker, under the skin of the chest. During the procedure, a thin wire is carefully connected from the device to the vagus nerve, a major nerve that runs from the brain through the neck to the chest and abdomen. Once implanted, the device delivers mild, intermittent electrical pulses to the vagus nerve at programmed intervals.

A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to understand how well different areas of the brain are functioning and how these functions affect everyday life. It examines the relationship between brain health, thinking skills, emotions, and behavior. This type of evaluation is commonly recommended when there are concerns about memory, attention, reasoning, or changes in personality or behavior.

During the evaluation, several key cognitive domains are tested. Memory and attention are assessed to determine how well a person can learn new information, retain it, and stay focused over time. Problem-solving and executive functioning are evaluated to understand skills such as planning, organization, judgment, and decision-making. Language abilities are tested to measure understanding, word-finding, reading, and communication skills. Processing speed is also examined, which reflects how quickly and efficiently the brain can take in and respond to information. In addition, mood and behavior are carefully reviewed, as emotional health can significantly influence cognitive performance.
