The Neurology Department at Children’s Hospital New Orleans provides
inpatient and outpatient care for the evaluation, diagnosis, and implementation
of therapies for neurologic disorders affecting the brain, nerves, muscles,
and spinal cord. Our team of pediatric providers have advanced training
and experience in treating the full spectrum of complex neurological disorders
in infants, children, and adolescents.
Highlights of our program
Multidisciplinary teams – The pediatric neurologists participate in several multidisciplinary
clinics at Children’s Hospital including the Cerebral Palsy Clinic,
the Neuromuscular Clinic, the Muscular Dystrophy Clinic, and the Concussion
Clinic. These clinics allow our providers from multiple specialties to
work together to optimize treatment for each patient while allowing patients
to see multiple providers at the same appointment.
Nationally recognized Epilepsy Center - The Epilepsy Center at Children’s Hospital New Orleans in partnership
with the LSU health New Orleans Epilepsy Center is recognized by the National
Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC)as an accredited Level 4 Center.
Level 4 centers provide the more complex forms of intensive neurodiagnostic
monitoring including extensive medical, neuropsychological, and psychosocial
treatment.
Family-centered care – We recognize that pediatric neurological conditions are often
present throughout childhood and can affect the whole family. Our team
of nurse navigators, child life specialists, social workers and therapists
collaborate to provide support for each patient and the patient’s
caregivers.
