The Internist's Role in Neurologic Health
Many neurologic symptoms are linked to other health conditions. As your primary care internist, we are often the first to investigate these symptoms, providing a crucial link between your general health and neurologic function.

Comprehensive Exam
A thorough physical and neurologic exam helps us identify potential causes and connections.
Coordinated Care
We manage chronic conditions and coordinate with neurologists for specialized testing and treatment.
Common Neurologic Conditions We Address

Neurologic Health Questions
You should see an internist if your headaches are new, severe, frequent, or accompanied by other symptoms like fever, weakness, or vision changes. We can help diagnose the cause and determine the best course of action, including referral to a neurologist if needed.
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It often causes weakness, numbness, and pain, usually in the hands and feet. As internists, we often diagnose and manage its underlying causes, such as diabetes.
As internists, we play a key role in performing initial cognitive screenings to detect signs of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. We manage the patient's overall health and coordinate with neurologists for specialized dementia care and treatment.
