    Personalized Specialist Care

    Neurology Conditions Treated

    Each condition is managed with modern & personalized neurological treatment.

    Epilepsy symptoms

    Epilepsy / Seizures

    Complete seizure control is possible with accurate diagnosis & precise medications. Selected cases need epilepsy surgery including Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS).

    Parkinson’s Disease / Tremor

    Excellent quality of life is possible with precise medications. Selected cases need Parkinsons surgery including Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) & MRI-guided ultrasound (MRg-FUS) surgery.

    Headache / Migraine

    Ruling out a serious cause such as a brain tumour is critical. Migraine can be cured by lifestyle changes & targeted migraine therapies.

    Dizziness / Vertigo

    Vertigo is just another name for “dizziness”. Finding & treating the cause (for example BPPV) is important.

    Back pain

    Pain - Face, Neck, Back, Legs

    Face, Neck, Back, Legs
    Each pain is treated differently. For example, Trigeminal Neuralgia & Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) have very different treatments.

    Our Procedures

    Advanced Neurology Procedures

    Even resistant Epilepsy and advanced Parkinson’s can get better with precise medications. Only a small number of patients need advanced treatments like Epilepsy surgery or Parkinson’s surgery.

    Resective Epilepsy Surgery

    EEG & Video EEG Monitoring

    Video EEG monitoring enables accurate epilepsy diagnosis & effective treatment. Video EEG helps to pinpoint the bad brain area causing seizures. This bad area can be safely removed (Resective Epilepsy surgery)

    Deep Brain Stimulation For Parkinsons Illustration

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

    DBS is a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. It stimulates the brain directly to reduce shaking, stiffness, and slowness. It improves quality of life & reduces high-dose medications.

    Vagus Nerve Stimulation Illustration

    Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

    VNS is a device-based therapy for Epilepsy. VNS stimulates the Vagus nerve in the neck to regulate brain electricity. It reduces the frequency & intensity of seizures.

    MRI guided fractioned ultrasound - MRGFUS for parkinson's

    MRI Guided Ultrasound (MRg-FUS)

    MRg-FUS is a quick & “bloodless” procedure for Parkinson’s disease. It markedly reduces shaking. It is a good choice for patients who are afraid of DBS surgery.
