Overview

Neurology is a medical specialty that deals with the functioning and disorders of the nervous system. Through our associated board certified neurologists from UMass Medical Center we are able to provide expert outpatient consultations at Day Kimball Hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. A referral from your primary care practitioner (PCP) is required to make an appointment.

Conditions treated include:

headaches, including migraines
中风
epilepsy and seizure disorders
multiple sclerosis
neuromuscular disorders
Parkinson’s disease and tremor
dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease
gait and balance disorders
vertigo and dizziness
brain tumors
sleep disorders
and other conditions

Specialized testing and treatments include:

tele中风 program - our Emergency Department is able to rapidly assess and treat 中风 with the help of experts from UMASS Memorial Medical Center, allowing us to administer clot-busting drugs that save lives. This is the only program of its kind in Northeast Connecticut.
EEG (electroencephalogram), a test that detects electrical activity in the brain through small, flat discs attached to the scalp. Portable EEG is also available.
sleep studies
bedside monitoring for epilepsy
and many others

Our associated neurologists also have sub-specialties in treating 中风, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and neuromuscular disorders.
