Neurology
Unexplained symptoms? Get a second opinion.
Neurological symptoms can affect movement, attention, awareness, memory, or sleep. If you are living with unexplained or mystery neurological symptoms, Dr. Zaatreh can review your history and help you consider the next steps.
Reasons to seek care
Tell us what you have noticed.
These symptoms can have different causes. They are reasons to seek evaluation—not a diagnosis of epilepsy.
Movement and coordination
Tremors, shaking, clumsiness, sudden movements, or changes in coordination.
Attention and awareness
Inattention, staring events, brief unresponsiveness, lost time, confusion, or unusual recurring spells.
Memory and unexplained changes
Unexplained memory decline or persistent neurological symptoms without a clear explanation.
A second look at unanswered questions
You may have already had appointments or tests but still have questions about your symptoms or diagnosis. A second opinion gives you an opportunity to review those concerns with another neurologist.
Bring your prior records, test results, and questions. Dr. Zaatreh will consider the history, your observations, and the available information before discussing appropriate next steps. A second opinion does not guarantee a different diagnosis or outcome.
What a neurological visit involves
A visit brings together the symptom history, medical background, medication information, prior records, and examination. Further testing, follow-up, or coordination with another clinician may be appropriate.
Not every symptom is epilepsy
Attention changes, staring events, clumsiness, memory problems, and sleep-related events can have neurological or non-neurological causes. You do not need to diagnose yourself before making an appointment.
