NEUROLOGIST

A neurologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses,

treats and manages disorders of the brain and
nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves).
A neurologist knows the anatomy, function and
conditions that affect your nerves and nervous
system. Your nervous system is your body’s
command center. It controls everything you
think, feel and do — from moving your arm to
the beating of your heart.
