General Neurology Program

Mission

The Division of General Neurology at the UCLA Department of Neurology is dedicated to providing comprehensive care of patients with neurologic problems referred by their primary care and specialist physicians, as well as individuals referred for second opinions from other neurologists. Our board-certified general neurologists evaluate and treat the full spectrum of neurologic disorders and have full access to UCLA allied services, including neuro-radiology, neurosurgery, neuro-rehabilitation, neuropsychology and neuro-ophthalmology. Additionally, for those patients whose neurologic problems involve the highest degree of complexity, we are able to direct patients to subspecialty clinics within the UCLA Department of Neurology. Patients seen in the General Neurology Division can expect personalized, thorough evaluations and treatment in the setting of one of the nation’s most highly-ranked academic neurology departments.

The Division of General Neurology counts among its core missions the education of medical students and neurology residents, as well as that of patients and their families.
