To assist with your healthcare our providers may start with a complete medical history and physical exam. He or she may also use one or more of these tests:

 

Electroencephalogram 

EEG-Offered in office for your convenience. This test records the brain's continuous electrical activity through electrodes attached to the scalp. 

 

Electrodiagnostic tests, such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity -NCV- 

Both offered in office for your convenience. These tests evaluate and diagnose disorders of the muscles and motor neurons. Electrodes are inserted into the muscle or placed on the skin overlying a muscle or muscle group. Electrical activity and muscle response are recorded.

​

Electrodiagnostic studies are performed by neurologists with additional subspecialty training and/or board certifications in both EMG and Neuromuscular Medicine and provides the following services to referring physicians and patients:

• Electromyography (EMG) Studies

• Neurological Consultation with EMG

 

Electrodiagnostic studies can assist with establishing a diagnosis, as well as identify other relevant problems, define the severity and chronicity of the disorder, and/or provide information useful for recovery, prognosis, and treatment.

 

Neurospychological evaluation

This assessments can be extremely useful in the detection, diagnosis, and management of memory loss, and dementia syndromes. Neuropsychological assessments are designed to identify the extent and severity of a patient's cognitive and behavioral impairments. Offered in English and Spanish

​

Vital Scope

Vital Scope is Fast and Pain-Free. It is a combination of three tests: Heart Rate Variability, Pulse Wave Velocity, and Sudomotor Function which is part of your autonomic nervous system. 

 

These three tests provide you and your doctor with detailed information about your risk for cardiovascular and neurological disease, often before other tests would show any abnormality. Vital Scope testing is also sensitive to changes in medication and lifestyle. It quickly reflects improvements or disease progression. This allows you and your doctor to see if your treatment efforts are properly working to increase your health. Your first Vital Scope test will be a baseline and reevaluated every year.

​

VNG (Videonystagmography)

A VNG test is a medical procedure used to evaluate the vestibular (balance) system of the inner ear and brain. It uses video goggles with infrared cameras to monitor involuntary eye movements called nystagmus. The test helps diagnose the cause of dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues by examining eye, positional, and caloric responses.

If additional diagnostic testing is needed, we will coordinate a referral to an appropriate specialist or imaging facility.
