This allows us to utilize the time to tend to other patients.
On your first visit to the Palm Beach Neurological Center, your doctor will review your medical background with special attention to present problems. A neurological exam will include tests of cranial nerves, strength, coordination, reflexes and sensation. The doctor will review any medical reports, x-rays and medications you provide. Your examination may indicate the need for additional testing to determine the diagnosis and lead to a specific treatment. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to discuss the results of tests and treatment. It is very important to keep these scheduled appointments.
