Neurology Consultations

Out-patient, Office Consultations

• Dr. Athni is available for detailed Neurologic Consultations in our office.
• During your initial visit, we will do a detailed Neurologial history and physical exam.
• If a firm diagnosis can be made during the initial visit, we will set forth a treatment plan.
• If additional testing is necessary, we will delineate, schedule and follow thru with a diagnostic testing plan, after which a follow-up visit will be scheduled to discuss the results of the diagnostic tests.
• After the results are discussed, we will set forth a treatment plan as medically appropriate.
• Most diagnostic testing is done in “steps”, starting with the least invasive and slowly progressing to more invasive testing as the need arises.

In-patient, Hospital Consultations

• We are affiliated with the Piedmont Hospital Health System
• For in-patient evaluations, we expect you to be admitted by a Hospitalist, your Internist or your Family Practitioner
• If a neurological problem arises which cannot be handled by your admitting physician, he or she will call the Neuro-Hospitalist for a formal hospital consultation
