At Decatur Neurological, you'll find the specialized care that you need. Our doctors are board certified and experienced to handle each patient with confidence and care. During a neurological examination, the doctor reviews the patient's health history with special attention to the current condition. The patient then takes a neurological exam. Typically, the exam tests mental status, function of the cranial nerves (including vision), strength, coordination, reflexes and sensation. This information helps the neurologist determine if the problem exists in the nervous system and the clinical localization.
