Vydehi Institute is one of the leading speciality hospitals in Bangalore for treating neurological disorders. Neurology is a medical speciality dealing with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. Backed by state-of-the-art technology and eminent neurologists, Vydehi hospital is making a mark in the niche by treating the diseases with treatment options matching the international standards.
The department of Neurology at Vydehi hospital provides a complete range of diagnostic, therapeutics, surgical and rehabilitation services for treatment and management of neurological disorders. To name a few, we are equipped to diagnose and treat all neurological diseases, including strokes, dementias (including Alzheimer’s disease), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, brain injury and others.
Neurologists often work with other health care providers.
We involve the patients while designing the treatment plan to suit their conditions and explain the course of treatment to boost their morale and confidence. If the need arises for surgical intervention, the neurologist will refer the patient to a neurosurgeon to improve the eventual outcomes.
Our dedicated team of neurologists and neurosurgeons are committed to providing a minimally invasive treatment plan for better and complete healing of the patients.
