This procedure, known as an electromyography (EMG), involves inserting a small needle into your arm or leg muscles to measure their electrical activity. This complete study helps diagnose issues with nerves or muscles, providing valuable data for your treatment plan.

This is a first-time office or outpatient visit lasting between 45-59 minutes. The healthcare provider evaluates your health, discusses your medical history, and may suggest further tests or treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions and understand your health better.

Follow-up hospital inpatient care per day typically involves a 35-minute check-up by your healthcare provider. This service includes monitoring your health progress, adjusting your treatment plan if needed, and answering any questions you may have about your condition or care.

Critical care involves immediate and constant attention by a team of specially-trained health professionals. It's for patients with life-threatening conditions, requiring first 30-74 minutes of intense monitoring and treatment.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It uses 1 to 3 leads (sensors) placed on your skin. A physician reviews the results to assess heart rate, rhythm, and detect any abnormalities.

Measurement of brain wave activity, also known as an EEG, is a non-invasive test that records electrical patterns in your brain. This procedure is done when you're awake and drowsy to understand how your brain functions during different states of consciousness.

An ultrasound of the head and neck blood flow is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of blood vessels. It helps detect abnormalities like blockages or clots, ensuring optimal blood flow.

This is a routine check-up for patients who have previously seen the doctor. During this 10-19 minute visit, the doctor will review your health status, discuss any concerns, and manage ongoing treatments or medications. It's a chance to ensure your health is on track.

Nerve conduction studies involve sending small electrical shocks through the skin to measure how quickly nerves transmit signals. This helps detect nerve damage. 9-10 studies mean this process will be repeated on different nerves to gather comprehensive data.

This is a routine check-up for patients who have previously visited our clinic. It involves a comprehensive review of your health and any ongoing treatments. The consultation lasts between 30-39 minutes, allowing enough time to discuss any concerns.

A complete ultrasound of brain blood flow, also known as a Transcranial Doppler, is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to measure the speed and direction of blood flow in the brain. This helps detect any abnormalities or blockages.

An ultrasound of the brain's blood flow after medication is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the blood flow within your brain. This helps monitor how the medication is affecting your brain's blood circulation.

An ultrasound of the brain's blood flow is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the blood vessels. This helps identify any blockages, like blood clots, that might disrupt normal blood flow and cause health issues.

This service involves a thorough evaluation of your thought processes, which may be impacting your daily life. In a typical 50-minute session, a healthcare professional will assess your cognitive abilities, identify any areas of concern, and develop a personalized care plan to help improve your mental function.

Nerve conduction studies are tests that measure how well your nerves are working. In 11-12 studies, small electrodes are placed on your skin to send and receive electrical signals. These signals show how quickly and effectively your nerves are transmitting signals, helping to identify any nerve damage or dysfunction.

A telephone medical discussion with a physician is a brief, 5-10 minute call where you can discuss your health concerns. It's a convenient way to receive medical advice without needing to visit a clinic. It's important to prepare questions in advance to make the most of this time.

This procedure involves a series of evaluations and tests to analyze your balance. Recordings are made to track your performance, helping identify any issues. This aids in determining the best treatment for any balance disorders you may have.

A rotating chair test helps doctors assess balance issues. You'll sit in a motorized chair that spins at controlled speeds. As the chair moves, your eye movements are monitored to identify any irregularities, which can indicate balance disorders.

This service involves an initial office or outpatient visit for a new patient. The healthcare professional will spend 30-44 minutes understanding your health history, current issues, and discussing possible treatment plans. It's a comprehensive evaluation to start your healthcare journey.

Balance testing with electrodes involves attaching small sensors to your skin. These sensors record your body's responses to various balance tests. They help in assessing your balance and coordination by measuring your body's electrical activity as you perform specific tasks.
