Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions do neurologists treat?
Neurologists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Common conditions include migraines, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy, dementia, and ALS.
When should I see a neurologist?
Seek a neurology referral for persistent or severe headaches, seizures, memory problems, numbness or tingling, weakness, balance problems, tremors, vision changes, or after a stroke or TIA. Your primary care doctor can help determine if a neurology evaluation is appropriate.
What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?
Neurologists diagnose and medically manage nervous system disorders without performing surgery. Neurosurgeons perform surgical procedures on the brain and spine. For many neurological conditions, you will first see a neurologist; surgery is considered when medical management is insufficient.
How long does it take to get an appointment with a neurologist?
Wait times for neurology appointments can range from a few weeks to several months depending on your location, urgency, and the specialist's availability. Urgent referrals for conditions like seizures or stroke follow-up are typically prioritized. Telehealth neurology consultations are increasingly available and can reduce wait times.
