Pediatric Neurology

An Integrated Approach

Child Neurologists combine the special expertise in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, muscles and nerves) with an understanding of medical disorders in childhood and the special needs of the child and his or her family and environment.

Child Neuorolgists often diagnose, treat and manage the following conditions:

• Seizure disorders
• Head injuries and brain tumors
• Weakness, including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and nerve-muscle disorders
• Headaches, including migraines
• Behavioral disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, school failure, autism, and sleep problems
• Developmental disorders, including delayed speech, motor milestones and coordination issues
• Mental retardation
• Hydrocephalus

Neurological disorders and diseases are conditions that involve the brain, spinal cord and/or the peripheral system. Because treating these conditions can be complex, we have developed a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals who provide expertise in evaluating, developing and implementing a customized treatment plan for each patient. Our goal is to enhance each patient’s quality of life by decreasing their pain, restoring function and creating a treatment plan that enables them to return to the daily activities they enjoy.
