This helps with early detection, diagnosis and treatment guidance of retinal and optic nerve conditions that include glaucoma, macular issues, diabetes-related issues and tumors of the retina.

- NeurologyOur team of 35 practitioners work together to address the many needs–medical, physical and lifestyle–of our neurology patients.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeTHE EMG measures the conduction potential of nerves, as well as the electrical activity response of muscles to the nerve cells that control them. The EMG helps neurologists diagnose patients with disorders of the nerves and muscles, including neuropathy, tingling and numbness, muscle pain or weakness, sciatica and other neuromuscular disorders. Conditions studied through EMG include muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-Lou Gehrig’s disease), herniated disks and carpal tunnel syndrome. In addition to static testing, the EMG includes minimally invasive testing with a small needle. The examination, conducted by a physician or specially trained technician, typically takes up to one hour and there is no special preparation required except to make sure the skin is free of lotions, oils or creams.
