Why choose us for neurology care?

BJC HealthCare works with Washington University physicians, BJC Medical Group, and providers across the region to deliver extraordinary care. When you choose our neurology team, you’re choosing a longstanding history of excellence. In neurology, our goal is to bring scientific research and discovery from the bench to the bedside to improve your treatment and quality of life.  

We offer:  

  • Specialized care: Our neurologists specialize in multiple areas, including epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders, memory disorders and more. This subspecialization allows us to offer specialty services available at few centers in the nation.  

  • Recognized expertise: Our physicians include a number of regional and national neurology experts. Our department is nationally recognized as a leader in noninvasive neurology treatment. 

  • Expert diagnostic tools: We have a range of neurodiagnostic testing tools, including sleep studies, electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG). A positron emission tomography (PET) scanner, a state-of-the art brain imaging technique invented and developed at Washington University, is located in the neurology intensive care unit at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The unit is one of the largest and most sophisticated in the United States. 

  • AIDS neurology: Our neurologists are part of the Neurologic AIDS Research Consortium (NARC). This consortium is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health to design and conduct clinical trials for improving therapies for AIDS patients with neurologic conditions. As new challenges arise in the fight against the AIDS epidemic, NARC continues to develop relevant studies.

Neurologic conditions we treat

In addition to treating general adult neurologic conditions, neurologists have expertise in a host of subspecialties. We treat the entire range of neurological conditions, including:

    Neurodiagnostic testing

    You may need neurodiagnostic testing to evaluate, diagnose or monitor a neurological condition. Our experienced technicians use the latest technology in neurodiagnostic testing. Board-certified neurologists interpret the results and consult with your referring physician. We focus on your comfort and well-being, providing care specific to your needs.

    We offer both inpatient and outpatient testing, which includes:

    Receive computed tomography (CT) scans close to home.
    We provide quick, accurate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Our expertise and commitment to quality help you receive outstanding care.
    Electroencephalography (EEG)
    To record electrical activity in the brain. Video EEG can continuously monitor brain activity around the clock.
    Electromyogram (EMG)
    This test measures electrical activity in muscles and nerves. It helps us evaluate symptoms such as numbness, tingling, reduced sensation and weakness.
    Nerve conduction study
    This test measures how well and how fast your nerves can send electrical signals.
    Visual evoked potential (VEP)
    This test evaluates the visual pathways in your brain by using electrodes attached to your head.
