- Parkinson’s disease
- Carpal tunnel syndrome nerve testing
- Numbness in feet, hands or other extremities
- Dementia and Alzheimer's disease

Our multi-diverse team of neurologists uses sophisticated diagnostic equipment to diagnosis patients, which include:
- Nerve and Muscle Testing (EMG/NCV)
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) - for all ages
