• Headaches
• Medical Weight Loss
• Primary Care
  At The Neurology Center, each patient is treated as an unique individual in order to maximize their potential for recovery from stroke. Many of our physicians see patients both in the hospital and outpatient at our clinics. At the hospitals, our physicians provide consultative services to the hospital staff and serve as the primary care for patients in the inpatient rehabilitation units.
• Sleep Disorders
  In order to evaluate your sleep, it is important to examine what’s happening to your brain, your heart, your breathing, and your legs while you are sleeping. For most patients, the initial sleep study performed is called a diagnostic polysomnogram. It is used to diagnose a variety of sleep disorders including sleep apnea and leg kicking. A video monitor in your room records any unusual movements or parasomnias and recordings are only kept when significant abnormalities are seen.
• Electrocardiogram
  Cardiovascular autonomic test with head-up tilt: During this second part of the autonomic test, we record your blood pressure and heart rate using an electrocardiogram (ECG). This test involves performing the simple maneuvers such as taking deep breaths, blowing into a mouth piece and changing position from lying down to standing upright.

Ophthalmologists

• Ophthalmology
  According to the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society, neuro-ophthalmologists take care of visual problems that are related to the nervous system; that is, visual problems that do not come from the eyes themselves. We use almost half of the brain for vision-related activities, including sight and moving the eyes. Neuro-ophthalmology, a subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology, requires specialized training and expertise in problems of the eye, brain, nerves and muscles. Neuro-ophthalmologists complete at least 5 years of clinical training after medical school and are usually board certified in Neurology, Ophthalmology, or both.

Radiologist

• MRI
  • Brain imaging.  An MRI scan is the most common test ordered.  It can help identify the cause of the seizure; however, most patients will have a normal study.

Surgeons

• Whiplash
  A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is typically caused by a blow to the head, neck or face, also known as a direct injury. A concussion can also be caused by physical contact to the rest of the body that can transmit force to the head or by indirect trauma, such as whiplash injuries.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  I suffered with migraines for about 10 years before finding Dr Schim. Most of my previous neurologists had very limited experience treating complex headaches. Dr Schim is an expert- I have never met another neurologist like him- he listens thoughtfully and carefully and provides me with a lot of education and novel treatments options. He and his staff are highly responsive to my needs and are very understanding when a medication does not agree with me. BOTOX has been a game-changer. I am down to a few migraines a month. I used to have several per week.
