Physician Assistant – Neurology (Trauma-Focused)

About the Neurology Practice

The Spine and Orthopedic Center includes a dedicated Neurology Practice that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of neurological conditions, including injury related trauma, primarily traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurological spine injury.

The neurology practice functions within a multidisciplinary medical environment while remaining distinctly neurology-driven in scope and clinical decision-making. Care is centered on comprehensive neurological assessment, diagnosis, and longitudinal management of patients with post-traumatic neurological conditions, and includes interventional spine treatments such as epidurals for spine related pain.

Common patient populations include individuals with concussion and post-concussive syndrome, cognitive and neurological sequelae of head trauma, and neurologic symptoms related to spinal injury.
