What is the Role of a Neurologist?

Neurologists often serve as the primary consultants or healthcare providers in collaboration with other physicians. When a patient has a neurological disorder requiring ongoing care, a neurologist becomes the primary healthcare provider. Patients dealing with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or multiple sclerosis can rely on a neurologist as their main physician.
