Some neurologists may specialize in other areas, too, in addition to what's on this list. Get in touch with your local neurologist to learn more about the full range of conditions they may be able to treat.

What questions should I ask a neurologist?

Chevron Icon

Top questions to ask a neurologist during your appointment that you may have not thought of:

  • Do you think that my symptoms may mean I have an underlying condition? What should my next steps be?
  • Are there any tests you recommend to help diagnose my condition or to verify that I don't have a condition? What reasons do you have for suggesting these tests?
  • Are there any possible complications of imaging tests like CT scans or MRIs? How can I prevent any of these complications, if any?
  • How can I interpret the results of my MRI or CT scan?
  • Can I still have an MRI if I'm not a fan of enclosed spaces?
  • Will my condition or treatment affect my lifestyle, work, or life?
  • Is my condition caused by my genetics, or are there lifestyle choices I'm making that could be exacerbating it?
  • Are there any lifestyle changes I can make to reduce my symptoms or the severity of my condition?
  • What can I expect from my condition in the short term and long term?
  • What treatments are available for my condition? Are there any side effects of the condition that can affect my lifestyle?
  • Can I expect any changes to my quality of life because of my condition in the short term or long term?
  • Are there any restrictions on my activities due to my condition or things I should avoid that will make my condition worse?
  • Will I need anyone to help with my daily tasks because of my condition in the short term or long term?
  • Will I need live-in assistance or nursing assistance at a facility in the short term or long term?
