About Brain

A neurological brain procedure, performed by a neurologist, is a specialized diagnostic or therapeutic intervention focused on the brain and central nervous system. This is not a single surgery but encompasses a range of techniques, from non-invasive diagnostic imaging and electrophysiological studies to minimally invasive procedures like lumbar punctures (spinal taps) for cerebrospinal fluid analysis. The primary goal is to accurately diagnose, monitor, or treat complex neurological conditions affecting brain function, structure, or chemistry. Utilizing advanced tools such as MRI, CT scans, and EEG, neurologists can pinpoint disorders, guide treatment plans, and manage chronic neurological diseases, offering patients a path to better management of their brain health.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
