• What is a Pediatric Neurologist?

  Pediatric Neurologists treat neurological disorders in infants and children. Pediatric neurology is a subspecialty of pediatrics, requiring additional specialized training and certification.

• How many treatments or visits will my child need?

  This depends on the child and the severity of his or her neurological issues. Dheemahi Child Neurology & Development Center provides as much care and support as needed.

• How can I prepare my child for a visit to your center?

  This depends on the age and developmental status of your child. Our consultations involve obtaining history and examining your child, none of which is painful. We incorporate play into neurological examinations, and many kids enjoy the process.

• Does my child need to attend the appointment?

  Yes, the child is the patient, so the child must be present at all appointments scheduled with our Child Neurologists.

  
  

• What should I bring with me to my first appointment?

  Please bring any paperwork you would like the doctor to review at your appointment (e.g., previous test results, report cards, other doctors' notes).

• What types of disorders do pediatric neurologists treat and diagnose?

  Pediatric neurologists treat and diagnose disorders such as headaches, seizures, epilepsy, autism, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury, among others.
