Neurology

UTMB Neurology treats a wide range of brain, spine, and nerve conditions. Our specialists care for patients with memory problems, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, seizures, stroke, migraines, neuromuscular diseases, and more. We also have a dedicated pediatric neurology team for children with neurological conditions.

You should see a neurologist if you have symptoms such as frequent headaches, dizziness, seizures, memory loss, tremors, numbness, weakness, or vision changes. If you have had a stroke or are at risk for one, a neurologist can provide specialized care.

UTMB has experts in several subspecialties of neurology:

• General Neurology – for common neurological concerns such as headaches or dizziness
• Memory & Cognitive Disorders – for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and memory loss
• Movement Disorders – for Parkinson’s disease, tremors, and dystonia
• Neuroimmunology – for multiple sclerosis (MS) and related conditions
• Nerve and Muscular Disorders – for neuropathy, ALS, and muscular dystrophy
• Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders – for seizure evaluation and treatment
• Stroke and Vascular Neurology – for stroke care and prevention
• Pediatric Neurology – for neurological conditions in children

UTMB is nationally accredited as a Level 4 Epilepsy Center by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. This is the highest level of recognition for epilepsy care in the United States. It means our team provides the most advanced testing, treatments, and surgical options for people with epilepsy.

Because UTMB is a Level 4 center, patients benefit from a team approach that combines neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists. This ensures that every aspect of epilepsy care, from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up, is available in one place.
