What is the role of a neurologist

Neurologists often serve as the primary consultants or healthcare providers for other physicians. When patients have neurological disorders requiring ongoing care, neurologists become their primary care providers. Patients with conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or multiple sclerosis can choose a neurologist as their healthcare provider.
