Neurology

From headaches to strokes, neurologists at UVA Health give you the attention needed to properly diagnose and care for your condition. 

Our general neurologists work closely with teams of nationally recognized subspecialty neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuropsychologists, as well as specialists throughout UVA, to give you a superlative experience in a welcoming environment. 

These teams evaluate and treat adults with a variety of neurological symptoms and disorders.

Neurology Treatment Firsts & Centers of Excellence 

We opened the first multidisciplinary clinic in Virginia specifically for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease) and their families.

Four of our neurodegenerative programs have been designated Centers of Excellence by the official bodies of their respective fields:

• Our ALS program, by the ALS Association
• Our Parkinson’s disease program, by the American Parkinson’s Disease Association 
• Our Huntington’s disease program, by the Huntington’s Disease Society of America
• Our Guillain-Barré syndrome program, by the GBS-CIDP Foundation

The National MS Society has designated our multiple sclerosis program a Center for Comprehensive Care.

The National Association of Epilepsy Centers has accredited our epilepsy program as a level 4 epilepsy center. 

And we're the only designated CurePSP Center of Care in Virginia.
