About Neurological Diseases

Neurological diseases encompass a wide range of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. A neurologist is a specialist who diagnoses and manages these conditions, which can include headaches, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and neuropathy. The diagnostic process involves a detailed neurological examination, patient history, and advanced neuroimaging techniques like MRI or CT scans. Treatment is highly individualized, ranging from medication management and lifestyle modifications to interventional procedures and rehabilitation therapies. The goal is to alleviate symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve the patient's overall quality of life through a comprehensive, patient-centered approach.

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.
