How does a consultation with a neurologist go?
At the initial appointment, the doctor will ask the patient about what worries him, what symptoms he is experiencing, what his family members have been ill with, and examine his medical history (if any). The neurologist will also examine the patient, check the reflexes and decide on therapeutic measures. Sometimes additional examinations and tests may be necessary: blood tests, MRI scans, ultrasound scans, Doppler ultrasonic scans, myography, X-rays. Based on the results of the tests and examination, the doctor will prescribe an individual treatment plan.
