Neuroscience

In addition to neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuropsychologists, the Vanderbilt Health team also includes advanced practice nurses, social workers, pharmacists, case managers and other experienced health care professionals. All have received extensive training in their specialty. They work together to treat all aspects of your neurological condition so you get the best possible care.

We work with you and your family to create a customized care plan to address your diagnosis, symptoms and treatment goals and the ways that your neurological condition affects your loved ones.

U.S. News & World Report considers us one of the highest-performing Neurology and Neurosurgery programs in the country. Other recognitions:

• The National Association of Epilepsy Centers accredits us as the only Level 4 Epilepsy Center for adults in Tennessee.
• The Joint Commission recognizes us as an Advanced Certification Comprehensive Stroke Center.
• Establishment of Centers of Excellence for Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurological conditions
• Provision of research support through our Surgical Outcomes Center for Kids (SOCKs)
• The Vanderbilt Neuromuscular Clinic is a designated Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA)/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Care Center.
