Neurologist

A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. They manage a wide range of neurological conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, migraines, and neuropathies. Neurologists conduct detailed neurological examinations and may use diagnostic tools like MRI, CT scans, EEG, and EMG to evaluate patients. While they do not perform surgery, neurologists often work closely with neurosurgeons and other specialists to provide comprehensive care. Their expertise is crucial in both acute neurological emergencies and long-term management of chronic neurological conditions.
