    Questions to Ask Your Neurologist at Your First Appointment

    When it comes to your neurological health, seeking the expertise of a specialist is crucial. The Renown Institute for Neurosciences provides comprehensive care for complex diseases affecting brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Let us help guide you through the appointment process to ensure a productive and informative first appointment. What to Expect at Your First Appointment at the Renown Institute for Neurosciences Duration and Purpose: Your first appointment will last approximately one hour. This time allows the doctor to ask specific questions, do a thorough neurological exam and discuss your concerns. Specialized Care: You will be matched with a provider who specializes in assessing and treating your specific ailment or condition. This tailored approach ensures that you receive care from an expert who has the specialized interest and expertise to address your needs effectively. Initial Assessment: During your visit, you will first see a medical assistant who reviews your medication history and standard screening questions provided by your doctor. Following this portion of your appointment, the neurologist will ask specific and detailed questions about your condition and conduct a non-invasive neurological examination to evaluate your brain and nervous system functioning. This exam involves painless tests assessing your cognitive function and nerve operation, including tests for sensation, strength and coordination. Treatment: After performing the neurological exam and addressing your questions, the neurologist will review the possible diagnosis and treatment plan, including any medication needs to help with your condition. Finally, your doctor may discuss the role of additional testing, including imaging studies (CT/MRIs), peripheral nerve testing (EMG) or brain wave testing (EEG), which will be scheduled for a later date. Making the Most of Your Visit To make your appointment as beneficial as possible, consider the following tips: Arrive Early: Plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early to fill out any necessary check-in items before your appointment's scheduled start time. This will ensure a smooth and timely visit. Bring Insurance Information: Have your insurance details readily available to facilitate the administrative process. This will help avoid any delays or confusion. Gather Medical Records: If you have received treatment or undergone tests with other healthcare providers relevant to your condition, bring along any medical records or test results. This information will assist your neurologist in gaining a comprehensive understanding of your medical history. Prepare Questions and Concerns: Consider noting the following, which can help you better answer questions the neurologist may ask during your appointment. The frequency, duration and severity of your symptoms. Share information about any medications or treatments you have tried for the condition and the outcomes. Prioritize questions to help the neurologist answer your most significant concerns during the initial visit. Your first appointment with a doctor at the Renown Institute for Neurosciences is an opportunity to receive expert care and gain insights into the best method of treatment for your condition. By understanding what to expect and following the tips provided, you can maximize your visit and be on your way to achieving overall health and wellness.

    May is National Stroke Month: Know the Signs and B.E.F.A.S.T.

    Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. has a stroke, but 80 percent of all strokes are preventable. That’s why knowing the signs and symptoms and what to do is so important. With May being National Stroke Month, we asked Sadie Wangler, program manager with Renown Institute for Neurosciences, to explain more. We can prevent strokes by changing our lifestyle behaviors that increase our risk. Knowing the symptoms and being prepared to B.E. F.A.S.T. are key as well. We asked Sadie Wangler, program manager for the Renown Institute for Neurosciences, what everyone person should know about stroke. What is a stroke? A stroke can be caused by a blood clot within an artery in the brain or a blood vessel. The clot can burst due to blockage and this causes blood flow to the brain to be cut off. Without the proper bloodflow and oxygen getting to the brain, the brain’s tissue begins to die. How to spot symptoms of a stroke? The easiest thing is to remember the word “B.E.F.A.S.T.” B – Loss of balance: Ask the person to walk 5-10 feet, with light assistance, and ask if they felt dizzy or off balance. E – Double Vision or blurred vision: Ask the person if their vision has changed in any way. F – Look for face drooping: Ask the person to smile and see if one side of their face droops. A – Arm weakness: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? S – Speech difficulty: Ask the person to repeat something. Is their speech slurred or strange? T – Time to call 911: Time matters – so don’t wait to call an ambulance if you or a loved one is experiencing these symptoms. You can also watch for sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, especially on just one side of the body. Look for any confusion — if they’re having trouble speaking or difficulty understanding others talk — and if they have trouble seeing in one or both eyes, trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or sudden and unexplained severe headache. The signs of stroke happen suddenly and a lot of people may deny their symptoms, thinking they’re overreacting. But it’s critical to act quickly and get medical attention right away — when it comes to stroke and saving your brain, minutes matter. What should you do if you think you or someone you love is having a stroke? In addition to seeking help right away, it’s best to call 911 and get an ambulance. A lot of people make the mistake of driving themselves to the hospital or have someone else drive them, and this can be dangerous for a number of reasons. First of all, it can put you, your loved ones and others on the road in danger. Second, going to the hospital on your own can take more time than calling an ambulance, and when it comes to stroke, every minute of medical care counts. So it’s important to call 911 and get treatment immediately. What can you do to prevent stroke? A stroke can happen to anyone, but certain risk factors can increase your risk. There are some risk factors you can’t control: your age, family history, race and gender. Stroke risk is higher for women and people over the age of 55. Fortunately, there are some risk factors you can control, such as high blood pressure, smoking, artery or heart disease, high cholesterol, as well as obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise. A lifestyle focused on healthy diet and regular exercise can greatly reduce your risk for stroke. Quitting smoking and watching your alcohol intake can help too. The Renown Regional Medical Center has been certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Joint Commission and received the Gold Plus Achievement award by the American Stroke Association. Our Stroke Program provides evidence-based primary stroke care including evaluation, treatment and education to patients who arrive at a Renown facility with the signs and symptoms of stroke.
