NEUROLOGY
Neurology Care Close to Home
Neurology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system—including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Because the nervous system controls how we think, move, feel, and function, expert neurological care is essential to maintaining quality of life.
