Pediatric Neurology

Matters of the brain are delicate and complex, especially when they affect our children. If your child has problems involving the nervous system, brain or spine, the pediatric neurologists at Saint Francis have the special training and experience to treat him or her. 

Using the latest advancements in modern medicine, we work as a team with pediatricians and other primary care doctors to treat pediatric neurologic conditions. We also work closely with other pediatric specialists, like behaviorists, psychologists and neurosurgeons, to care for children who have more complex or serious neurological issues like epilepsy, birth defects and intellectual disabilities.

Our experts provide a full range of services, from routine screening to treatment options for the most complicated pediatric neurology cases. In addition, our patients have access to the most sophisticated tests available today including video-EEG monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetoencephalography (MEG) and neuropsychological tests.
