Tips & Advice

What type of special training does a neurologist receive?

Neurologists must first obtain an undergraduate pre-medical degree, and the next step in their education involves four years at medical school. Upon completing medical school, neurologists typically enter a one-year internship program, and this is followed by a three-year residency program in neurology. After this residency is completed, neurologists may receive advanced training via a fellowship program, and these typically last one to two years.

How much does a neurological exam cost?

The cost of a neurological exam will depend on the service that is being provided. If electromyography (EMG) testing is being performed, the cost could run $150-$500 per test. Other types of diagnostic tests include a nerve biopsy, a spinal tap, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The total cost for having a spinal tap administered can run $3,000-$5,000.

How are neurological disorders treated?

A wide range of options are available for the treatment of neurological disorders. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease may be relieved with Botox injections and deep-brain stimulation. Multiple sclerosis may be addressed with disease-modifying therapies that are offered in injection, intravenous, and oral forms, and emotional, cognitive, and physical therapies are often recommended to support the process. Stroke treatments include blood thinners, blood pressure control, and thrombolytic therapy to break up blood clots.

Is dementia the same as Alzheimer’s disease?

Strictly speaking, dementia is not the same as Alzheimer's disease. Dementia refers to a set of symptoms, and these include language difficulty, confusion, and memory loss. Alzheimer's disease is one cause of dementia, and it's responsible for 60 percent to 70 percent of all dementia cases. However, other illnesses can trigger dementia, as well, and these include Parkinson's disease and Lewy body disease.

What are the signs of a concussion?

The signs of a concussion may include headache, lack of coordination, memory loss, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, ringing in the ears, confusion, and severe fatigue. A concussion is typically caused by an injury that causes your head and brain to be quickly shaken back and forth. A concussion can be caused by a fall or a car accident, and it may also occur during participation in impact sports.

This is absolutely the worst neurology practice I have ever been to and I have been seeing neurologists for the past thirty years. Let's first start off with the fact that I joined this group because of the great things I heard about Quanetta Bazile. And she was wonderful. However, she up and left with absolutely no notification to her patients. Then a Rachael Daley took over her patients. From the start she seemed disorganized and lacked in bedside manner. She then began migraine botox, which left me with a drooping eye which triggered the onset of many migraines for three months. To make matters worse, my medication expired and the office refuse to refill my prescription for imitrex without a visit. I had just seen the doctor 3 1/2 months prior (and at that time Rachel checked all my medications), but they wanted me to visit them to re-prescribe a medicine that I have been taking for the past four years. Not only did that seem like a waste of time, I could not get the prescription or appointment for at least a week because Rachael was at a conference and no one in the office could prescribe. So I guess Rachael feels it is okay for a patient who suffers from extreme migraine pain can wait until she is done with her conference. I would not recommend anyone go to this practice. The actual neurologist does not treat migraine patients, and Rachael has no idea what she is doing. Save yourself time and pain, and find another doctor.

Worst experience of my life. Went to see doctorVankat Veerappan and end up seeing Judith Larken Nurse Practitioner. We do not need specialist he can use Nurse and Bill Indurance fee of a specialist.
