Non-invasive diagnostic evaluation to identify the root cause of walking difficulty.Comprehensive assessment of neurological function, including strength, coordination, and reflexes.Critical first step in developing a targeted treatment plan for mobility issues.Helps differentiate between neurological, muscular, orthopedic, and other causes.Can prevent progression of underlying conditions through early diagnosis.

Risks & possible complications
- The diagnostic evaluation itself is low-risk and non-invasive.
- Potential risks are associated with any recommended follow-up tests (e.g., minor discomfort from blood draws, contrast reaction for MRI).
- Delay in diagnosis if the underlying cause is not accurately identified.
- Anxiety or stress related to undergoing diagnostic testing for an unknown condition.
Recovery & hospital stay

- Recovery depends entirely on the diagnosed underlying condition and its prescribed treatment (e.g., physical therapy, medication, surgery).
- Post-assessment, the neurologist will discuss findings and create a management plan, which may include referrals to other specialists.

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.
