Neurology

The department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine offers expert diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from diseases of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.

Over the past several years we have seen an explosion of new knowledge regarding the workings of the human brain and nervous system. These scientific advances have led to new ways of diagnosing neurological disease, new methods for treating previously untreatable diseases, and new insights into the effective control of stroke, dementia, epilepsy, parkinsonism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Tourette's Syndrome and other neuromuscular diseases.

We are dedicated to continuing these advancements through leading-edge neurological research and education, rapidly translating the latest scientific findings into meaningful new therapy for our patients, and creating an environment that develops the next generation of preeminent neurologists.

We practice a collaborative approach to patient care, working closely with other Baylor College of Medicine specialties to provide personalized, comprehensive care in one convenient setting.
