Neurology and Neurosurgical Care

It’s okay to feel anxious. Overwhelmed. Even a bit confused. Understanding the human brain and how it works is a lot to take in. But let faith conquer your fear. Because at AdventHealth, we’re here to help navigate the way with knowledge, skill, and spiritual support. From prevention and early detection to pinpointing the problem and helping you feel whole again, your team of world-class neurologists, nurses, neurosurgeons, and specialists will work together to provide you comprehensive, compassionate care throughout your neurology treatment.

You want results. You want more options and fewer symptoms and setbacks. You also want to feel a sense of hope. Your neurological care all starts with a complete overview of you. At AdventHealth, we look at your past and present. We listen to your loved ones. And most importantly, we get to know you. By using the latest technology and diagnostic tests, along with a coordinated approach of specially trained experts in neurological diseases and conditions, we’re able to zoom in on the whole picture of your whole neurological health. And the earlier we start, the better.

If neurological disorders are part of your family history, or you've been experiencing troubling symptoms, your physician or neurologist may recommend that you get one of the following diagnostic, screening, and prevention tests:

• Computed Tomography (CT or CAT Scan) is a noninvasive diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to show detailed images of your brain. They can provide more-detailed information about brain tissue and brain structures, arming you and your physician with more information about potential risks.
• An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves. During the procedure, electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells.
• Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to help assess the health of your muscles and the nerve cells that control them. Results can help you diagnose nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction, or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
• Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) Scan gives a view of specific blood vessels and may be prescribed in addition to an MRI.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of what's going on inside your brain. They can often detect the differences between normal and abnormal tissue clearer than a CT Scan.
• Memory Screenings are safe, simple brain check-ups that test memory and other thinking skills. It's a series of questions and/or tasks that can indicate if you need further evaluation.
• A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning.

Amazing things happen when science works together with the human spirit. Symptoms can dissipate. Lives can be saved. And those who once thrived can thrive again. We have the brightest minds and the most-skilled specialists continually performing and perfecting the most-advanced neurology treatments.

We offer patients the following neurological therapies and treatments:

• Deep Brain Stimulation
• Medication
• Neurointerventional Radiology
• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

And when your condition requires more, our neurosurgery experts are here to help, performing neurosurgical procedures, ranging from craniotomy to the minimally invasive Gamma Knife procedure. From endoscopic brain surgery to interventional neuroradiology — one of the very few minimally invasive techniques available — our neurological care and capabilities cover your head, neck, brain, and spine. And because we’re dedicated to your overall health and lifelong wellness, that care will stay with you well beyond recovery.

You have a beautiful life planned. People to love, places yet to see, and more memories to make. Our goal is to help bring your plans to life. We understand there are challenges. But through exceptional neurology treatment, dedication, and a network of care for every stage and need — from seizure monitoring and minimally Invasive brain surgery to inpatient rehab, home care, and support groups — we'll help you meet your challenges with a sense of healing hopefulness. Here are some of the conditions we specialize in:

• Alzheimer's Disease
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Brain Aneurysms and Cysts
• Dementia
• Migraines
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Psychiatric Conditions
• Seizures and Epilepsy
