Neurology

Neurological conditions are often difficult to diagnose, so patients must cope with the stress of symptoms and the unknown. In large, metropolitan medical systems you might be a number, but to us, you're a neighbor. We listen, we care, and we're dedicated to finding answers so you receive the proper treatment and can get back to your life.

Good Samaritan Hospital's Neurodiagnostics Department has advanced diagnostic equipment and provides high quality care for patients with diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves or muscles. Our specialists take a multi-disciplinary approach to diagnostic evaluation and management of a wide range of conditions including neurobehavioral and memory disorders, neuromuscular diseases, cerebrovascular disease, movement disorders, seizures, brain tumors, and sleep disorders.

Good Samaritan Hospital's sophisticated Neurodiagnostics Department uses the following tests and procedures:

  • EMG (electromyography) and NCV (nerve conduction velocity) to help diagnose:

  • Carpal or Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Cervical or Lumbosacral Radiculopathy (pain and numbness in neck or back)

  • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (pain in the elbow and numbness in fingers)

  • Diabetic Neuropathy

  • Myasthenia Gravis

  • MyopathyEEG (electroencephalography) to help diagnose:

  • Seizures

  • Headaches and Head Trauma

  • Stroke

  • TIA

  • Parkinson's Disease

  • Alzheimer's and Dementia

  • Tremors

  • Syncope (fainting)

In addition, we offer:

  • Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) to help in the diagnosis of blurred vision, optic nerve damage and multiple sclerosis.

  • Brainstem Evoked Potentials (BAER) to help in the diagnosis of hearing loss, vertigo, syncope and stroke.

  • Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) to help in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies, spinal cord dysfunction, radiculopathy and multiple sclerosis.

  • Transcranial Doppler (TCD) to help in the diagnosis of strokes, vascular headaches, bleeding from ruptured aneurysm and AVM (arteriovenous malformation).
