Whether you’re newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) or want a second opinion about epilepsy treatment, you’ve come to the right place.
Neurologists from University of Iowa Health Care offer a level of care that’s not available at smaller medical centers. We routinely:
-
Evaluate people who are worried about first-time symptoms like numbness, weakness, or memory problems
-
Order tests (such as an EEG) to confirm or rule out neurological conditions
-
Prescribe medications that improve symptoms and control disease progression
-
Refer patients for advanced surgical treatments like deep brain stimulation (DBS)
-
Help patients enroll in clinical trials to test promising new treatments
No matter what neurological symptoms or condition you have, you can take comfort knowing UI Health Care offers any treatment you might need.
Subspecialty neurology care
Each of our neurologists has advanced training in specific conditions affecting the brain, spine, or nerves. This means they offer a depth of experience that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Our team includes specialists in:
-
Migraine and other headache disorders
-
Memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease
-
MS and other types of neuroimmune disease
-
Neuromuscular disease, including muscular dystrophy
-
Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea
-
Stroke and other neurovascular conditions
Leading neurology expertise
People across Iowa—and beyond—routinely choose UI Health Care for neurology care because we’re known for providing:
-
The highest level of epilepsy care: We’ve earned Level IV epilepsy accreditation from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers—the highest designation a center can achieve. We have the technology it takes to distinguish epilepsy from nonepileptic seizures. And we offer surgical treatments for people who don’t find relief with medication.
-
Advanced neurogenetic testing and counseling: Our experts can confirm whether you have a condition caused by an abnormal or missing gene (such as Huntington’s disease). We can also help you understand your diagnosis and identify family members with the same genetic difference.
-
Lifesaving stroke care: We’re home to Iowa’s only Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC). This means we have more resources to help stroke patients survive (and recover). Studies show patients have better outcomes with fewer complications when treated at a CSC.
-
Neuropsychology pioneers: UI Health Care created one of the country’s first neuropsychology labs in the 1950s. And we’re still here to measure whether your neurological condition has affected your cognitive (thinking) abilities. For example, we can assess your concentration, problem solving, and reasoning—and determine whether you can safely drive, live independently, or operate machinery.
-
Internationally recognized CMT care: We have one of the country’s only clinics dedicated to patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. People travel here from around the world to receive multispecialty treatment or neurogenetic testing, or enroll in a CMT clinical trial.
