When to See a Neurologist

Neurologists are experts in one of the most complex systems known: the human nervous system. Even the smallest change in the nervous system can have wide-reaching effects and symptoms. Make an appointment with a neurologist if you are experiencing:

• Behavior changes 
• Confusion, trouble thinking, or memory problems
• Dizziness or balance and coordination problems
• Numbness, weakness, or trouble moving
• Seizures, syncope or recurring staring spells
• Sensitivity to light or sound
• Severe recurring headaches 
• Trouble communicating, reading, or writing
• Tremors or other involuntary movements
• Vision changes that cannot be explained by an opthamologist
• Major changes in gait or posture
• Abnormal brain or spine imaging

Call 911 or seek emergency medical help if you have sudden or severe neurological symptoms.
