Neurological problems in children can be challenging to diagnose and treat. They require a specialist with the training and the qualifications to diagnose and treat those conditions appropriately. Our child neurologists at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital have board certifications in child neurology and up-to-date knowledge of new research in diagnosing and treating children.
Our pediatric neurologists use a team-based approach and work closely with the pediatricians and other specialists to provide the best possible care to the child. We offer a high standard of care using state-of-the-art technology and evidence-based medicine supported by the latest research.

Diagnosis
An accurate and timely diagnosis is essential to find the proper treatment for a condition. Our doctors use modern technology, the latest research, and a team-based approach to evaluate, diagnose and treat a child. A pediatric neurologist may use tests such as an EEG, MRI, CT scan, blood tests, and in some instances other specialized testing, including genetic testing and PET scans.
