Neurological Consultation
Comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of all neurological conditions
The neurological consultation is the foundation of proper diagnosis and treatment. At our practice, Katerina Saroukou dedicates the necessary time for a thorough and detailed evaluation of each patient.
Each session begins with comprehensive history-taking — including current symptoms, medical history, medications, and family history. This is followed by a complete neurological examination assessing cranial nerves, reflexes, muscle strength, sensation, coordination, and balance.
Based on the findings, the doctor will discuss the diagnosis with you, explain potential causes, and recommend a treatment plan or further tests if needed.
