Leading Reasons to See a Neurologist

How to Prepare

Your visit to see your neurologist shouldn't add any additional stress or fear. To make your visit as simple and stress-free as possible, it's helpful to come prepared for you appointment by:

  • Bringing a list of all of you current medications
  • Having a list of all the medical professionals you see, with contact information.
  • Bringing notes of both your medical history and, if possible, family history.
  • Writing down a list of any questions you may have and want to discuss with your neurologist.

What to Expect

During your visit, your neurologist will talk with you about your medical history and symptoms, perform a thorough exam and recommend additional tests if deemed necessary to better diagnose your condition. Some tests may include blood and urine tests, diagnostic imaging and electromyography (EMG). 

Your doctor will talk you through the process and work with both you and your primary care provider to determine the best plan of care to address your condition and meet your individual goals.
