Neurologist – What do they do and which diseases do they treat?

A neurologist is responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases of the nervous system. They consult patients with conditions such as migraines, chronic headaches, dizziness, movement disorders, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, dementia, and other neurological disorders.

Scope of a neurological consultation

A neurological consultation includes:

• Detailed medical history;
• Neurological examination;
• Diagnosis and medical recommendations;
• Prescription of medications;
• Referral for additional diagnostic tests (e.g., MRI, CT scan, EEG);
• Referral for further consultations or hospitalization;
• Issuance of a sick leave note, if necessary.

What does the first visit to a neurologist look like?

A visit to a neurologist begins with a detailed medical history, where the doctor asks about symptoms, their severity, frequency, and past illnesses. Then, the doctor performs a neurological examination, assessing the functions of the nervous system. If necessary, further diagnostic tests are recommended, or appropriate medications are prescribed. During follow-up visits, test results are discussed, and if needed, the appropriate therapy is adjusted.

What symptoms should lead you to a neurologist?

A visit to a neurologist is recommended if neurological symptoms such as the following occur:

• Persistent headaches or migraines;
• Hand tremors, coordination disorders;
• Seizures;
• Memory, concentration, and thinking problems (dementia);
• Muscle weakness;
• Dizziness, balance problems;
• tingling, numbness in the limbs;
• Sudden loss of sensation in parts of the body.

If you experience the above-mentioned symptoms, you should consult a neurologist immediately to determine the cause and begin treatment.

How to choose a good neurologist?

Before making a decision, it is advisable to check reviews from other patients, which can help assess the doctor's qualifications and approach to treatment. It is also important to consider the neurologist's experience in diagnosing and treating specific conditions.

It is worth paying attention to the range of services provided – some neurologists specialize in specific conditions, such as epilepsy, migraines, or neurodegenerative diseases. Another important factor is the availability of appointment slots and the possibility of online consultations.

Each doctor has a detailed profile, where you can check their qualifications, experience, and the scope of services offered. The profile also contains information about the languages in which the consultation can be conducted – if no such information is available, it means that the consultation is conducted in Polish by default. 

How much does a visit to a neurologist cost?
