During your first visit to a neurologist, several key aspects are typically addressed: The neurologist will review your medical history, including any relevant previous diagnoses, treatments, or surgeries. You will have an opportunity to describe your symptoms in detail, including their onset, duration, and any factors that worsen or alleviate them. The neurologist may perform a physical examination, which could involve assessing your reflexes, coordination, strength, and sensation. Depending on your symptoms, the neurologist may order specific diagnostic tests or recommend further assessments to aid in making an accurate diagnosis. Following the evaluation, the neurologist will discuss their findings, provide a diagnosis if possible, and outline potential treatment options or further investigations.
