Medical care may include:

You may need to see a neurologist if you have been examined by a primary care physician and told that your symptoms are neurological in nature. Your primary care physician will consult a neurologist and schedule an appointment for an exam and possible tests. Once your exam and tests are completed, the neurologist will work with you to determine the plan or care which may include medication or therapy services.

In some cases, you may be referred to our neurosurgeon, if surgery seems most beneficial.

A neurosurgeon is responsible for the correction of disorders of the body's nervous system through surgery.

Altru's experienced, board-certified neurosurgeons perform surgical procedures on delicate parts of the body, including the brain, spine and individual nerves.

Working closely with Altru's neurologists, our team provides the best care possible to individuals affected by nerve disorders and diseases.
