Neurology for Professionals

The Neurology Department performs general neurological consults for adults and neuromuscular consultations for adults and pediatric patients with various nerve and muscle diseases.

All medical staff members of the department are board-certified neurologists with subspecialties in neurophysiology and neuromuscular diseases.

Neuromuscular Pathology studies are performed by the most advanced methods at the Pathology Laboratory of HSS. The Neurophysiology Laboratory performs Evoked Potential Tests (EP), Nerve Conduction and Electromyography (NCV/EMG), and studies for routine diagnosis of disorders of the nervous system. Furthermore, Intraoperative Monitoring (IOM) is performed on request by orthopedic surgeons.
