Austin Neurological Clinic is committed to the highest standards of patient care and excellence in neurological and neuropsychological disorders. We derive our greatest sense of accomplishment from doing what is right for each individual patient.
Neurology is the practice of medicine which diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders of the nervous system. Diseases of the nervous system such as stroke, dementia, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, meningitis, dystonia, neuropathy and Parkinson's Disease represent but a few of the patients we treat. Less serious, but often disabling disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, pain and sensory disturbances, migraine and sleep disorders are diagnosed and treated by neurologists. Our specialties overlap, but do not include psychiatry or neurosurgery.
Neuropsychology is a specialty which combines the fields of neuroscience and psychology and deals with the brain and its relationship to behavior. The brain is the most complex organ of the body and controls intellectual functioning, speech and language, the perception of touch, hearing, and vision, memory, attention, personality, along with the coordination of all movement. Because neurological disorders may affect any of these functions, neuropsychological evaluations are an important part of diagnosis and treatment planning.
Our office provides a comfortable and efficient setting to diagnose and treat neurological disorders. Welcome to our office and thank you for giving us the opportunity to care for you and your family.
