Neurology Services in Queens & Brooklyn, NY

Neurological symptoms can affect the way you think, move, feel, sleep, work, and function day to day. At Advanced Medical Care, our board-certified neurologists provide comprehensive neurology services in Forest Hills, Queens, and Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, for patients with concerns such as memory changes, headaches and migraines, seizures, dizziness, balance problems, tremors, neuropathy, and other brain, spine, and nerve conditions.

Our neurology team uses detailed consultations, advanced in-office diagnostic testing, and individualized treatment planning to help identify the cause of your symptoms and recommend care based on your diagnosis, medical history, and goals.

Our board-certified neurologists in Forest Hills, Queens, and Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, provide expert, compassionate care for a wide range of brain, spine, and nerve disorders. Below are some of the most common conditions we evaluate and help manage.

Dementia & Memory Loss

Forgetting recent events, getting lost in familiar places, struggling to find the right words, or noticing changes in thinking can be concerning for patients and families. These symptoms may be related to Alzheimer’s disease, another form of dementia, medication effects, sleep problems, vitamin deficiencies, or other treatable conditions.

At Advanced Medical Care, we offer dementia and memory loss evaluations in Queens and Brooklyn, which may include cognitive testing, laboratory work, brain imaging when appropriate, and careful review of your symptoms. As part of a complete neurologic assessment, we also offer the pTau-217 blood biomarker, an advanced Alzheimer’s blood test, at both our Queens and Brooklyn locations. This test is used as one tool within a broader evaluation and is not used as a stand-alone screening test.

Migraine

Migraines can cause throbbing head pain, nausea, light or sound sensitivity, visual auras, and symptoms that interfere with work, family life, and daily routines. Our neurologists work with you to identify possible triggers and create a personalized care plan that may include preventive medications, acute migraine treatments, Botox injections for chronic migraine when appropriate, and lifestyle strategies designed to reduce migraine frequency and severity.

Epilepsy & Seizures

Seizures can be unpredictable and may appear as convulsions, staring spells, loss of awareness, unusual movements, or episodes of confusion. Whether you have had one suspected seizure or a longer history of epilepsy, accurate diagnosis is important. We may use EEG and other diagnostic testing to evaluate brain activity, then recommend medication management, safety counseling, and ongoing monitoring to help reduce seizure frequency and improve daily safety.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple sclerosis can cause fatigue, numbness, tingling, vision changes, balance problems, weakness, and other neurologic symptoms that vary from person to person. Our neurologists provide evaluation, treatment planning, and symptom-management guidance, including discussion of disease-modifying therapies when appropriate, to help patients manage MS and support long-term function.

Parkinson’s Disease

Tremor, stiffness, slowed movement, changes in walking, balance problems, and changes in voice can be signs of Parkinson’s disease or another movement disorder. Advanced Medical Care provides neurologic evaluation, medication management, referrals to physical or speech therapy when needed, and guidance on advanced options, including deep brain stimulation referrals when appropriate.

Neuropathy (Nerve Damage)

Burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the hands, arms, legs, or feet may be signs of neuropathy or nerve irritation. Our team can perform nerve conduction studies and EMG when needed, evaluate common causes such as diabetes or vitamin deficiency, and recommend treatment options to help manage symptoms and protect nerve health.

Dizziness, Vertigo & Balance Disorders

Dizziness, spinning sensations, balance problems, or frequent falls can have many possible causes, including inner ear conditions, neurologic disorders, medication effects, and circulation concerns. Our neurology team evaluates these symptoms carefully and may use testing such as ENG to help identify the cause and guide next steps in care.

Stroke, TIA & Post-Stroke Neurological Care

A stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA, sometimes called a mini-stroke) requires prompt medical attention and follow-up care. Advanced Medical Care can provide neurologic evaluation for symptoms after a stroke or suspected TIA, help assess ongoing issues such as weakness, numbness, speech changes, memory changes, or balance problems, and coordinate care to support recovery and reduce future risk.

If you are experiencing sudden facial drooping, arm weakness, speech trouble, severe dizziness, sudden vision changes, or the worst headache of your life, call 911 immediately.

Neurology Testing & Diagnostic Services

Advanced Medical Care offers in-office diagnostic testing to help evaluate symptoms and support an accurate diagnosis. Your neurologist will recommend testing based on your symptoms, exam findings, and medical history.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

An EEG records electrical activity in the brain. It can help evaluate seizures, epilepsy, episodes of altered awareness, and certain other neurologic concerns.

Electromyography (EMG)

An EMG evaluates electrical activity in muscles and helps assess nerve and muscle disorders. It is often used when patients have numbness, tingling, weakness, radiating pain, or suspected neuropathy.

Electronystagmography (ENG)

An ENG helps evaluate balance disorders, involuntary eye movements, vertigo, and dizziness. It can provide useful information when symptoms may be related to the vestibular system or neurologic function.

Transcranial Doppler (TCD)

A transcranial Doppler uses ultrasound to evaluate blood flow in vessels within the brain. It may help identify circulation-related concerns and provide additional information when assessing certain neurologic symptoms.

Diagnostic testing is only one part of the neurology evaluation. Your neurologist will review the results in the context of your symptoms and overall health so your treatment plan is tailored to you.

You should consider scheduling a neurology consultation if you have symptoms that may involve the brain, spine, nerves, muscles, balance system, or memory. Some symptoms are mild but persistent, while others are new, worsening, or disruptive enough to affect daily life. A neurologist can help evaluate what may be causing the symptoms and recommend the appropriate next steps.

Symptoms That Should Be Evaluated

• Dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, or frequent falls
• Fainting, blackouts, loss of consciousness, or unexplained episodes of confusion
• Memory loss, difficulty concentrating, word-finding problems, or changes in thinking
• Seizures, staring spells, shaking episodes, or unusual movements
• Chronic headaches or migraines, especially if they are new, worsening, or affecting daily life
• Numbness, tingling, burning pain, or weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
• Tremors, stiffness, slowed movement, or changes in walking
• Neck pain, back pain, or radiating pain that may be related to nerve irritation
• Vision changes, facial pain, speech changes, or swallowing problems
• Symptoms after a concussion, head injury, stroke, or suspected mini-stroke

You do not need to wait until symptoms become severe to see a specialist. A neurology consultation can help clarify what is happening, whether testing is needed, and what treatment options may be available.

How can I find a neurologist in Queens or Brooklyn for memory, headaches, seizures, or nerve symptoms?

Advanced Medical Care offers neurology services at two convenient locations: Forest Hills in Queens and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. Our board-certified neurologists evaluate symptoms such as memory loss, migraines, seizures, tremors, dizziness, balance problems, numbness, tingling, and weakness, then recommend testing and treatment based on your needs.

What happens during a neurology consultation?

During a neurology visit, your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, medications, prior test results, and any changes in your daily function. The visit may include a neurologic exam to assess strength, sensation, reflexes, balance, coordination, and cognition. If needed, your neurologist may recommend diagnostic testing such as EEG, EMG, ENG, TCD, imaging, or lab work.

What diagnostic tests are available at Advanced Medical Care?

Advanced Medical Care offers in-office neurology testing that may include EEG for brain electrical activity, EMG for nerve and muscle function, ENG for dizziness and balance concerns, and transcranial Doppler for blood-flow evaluation in vessels within the brain. Your neurologist will explain which test is appropriate and how the results will be used in your care plan.

Can neurology care help with chronic migraines?

Yes. For chronic migraines, a neurologist can help identify patterns and triggers, review medication options, recommend preventive and acute treatments, and determine whether Botox injections may be appropriate. The goal is to reduce the frequency, severity, and disruption of migraine symptoms.

When should I seek urgent or emergency care instead of scheduling a neurology visit?

Call 911 or seek emergency care right away for sudden stroke-like symptoms, such as facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, sudden vision loss, sudden severe dizziness, or the worst headache of your life. You should also seek urgent care for a first seizure, a severe head injury, new loss of consciousness, or rapidly worsening weakness, confusion, or neurologic symptoms.
