Diagnostics and/or surgeries are set up to follow on a future date (typically the following Tuesday or Thursday).
Dr. Ned Patterson is also available for an "epilepsy clinic" on selected Tuesdays, which are reserved for patients that are typically primary epileptics that have been difficult to control.
A neurological evaluation is completed at the time of initial examination. After discussion with the clients about a diagnostic and therapeutic plan, only initial blood work and radiographs may be performed on the same day.
Emergencies are processed and treated as soon as possible, either through the neurology service or in conslutation with other services in the hospital. For more timely service, please call us before sending in emergency referrals. | | | | | | | | |
