If you’re experiencing the signs of a neurological problem, your primary care doctor may refer you to a neurologist for further evaluation. Depending on your symptoms, your neurologist may order a variety of tests to help diagnose your condition.
Sutter’s neurodiagnostic specialists evaluate neurological, visual, auditory and peripheral nerve conditions using a variety of tests. These tests may include:
