Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Child Neurology neurologist do?

A Child Neurology neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Child Neurology neurologist treat?

A Child Neurology neurologist commonly treats pediatric epilepsy and seizures, developmental delays, headache and migraine in children, neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, and concussion and traumatic brain injury. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.

When should I see a Child Neurology neurologist?

Consider seeing a Child Neurology neurologist when your child has a known or suspected neurological condition that needs specialist care, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Child Neurology neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Child Neurology neurologist different from a general neurologist?

Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Child Neurology neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Child Neurology neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with pediatric epilepsy and seizures, developmental delays, headache and migraine in children, neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, and concussion and traumatic brain injury.
