100 Wendell Avenue, Pittsfield, MA

Dr. Jay Ellis specializes in neurology (brain & spinal cord disease) and practices in Pittsfield, MA.

"About 30 years ago, I went to see Dr Ellis presenting with 5 different symptoms all suggestive of MS. I told him that my sister has MS and I'd like to be evaluated for it. After a brief, cursory exam, Dr Ellis told me that the only thing wrong with me was I needed to go out to dinner with my husband more often. I felt so humiliated that I waited another three years before again seeking medical attention. By that time, I could only walk while holding onto something; I was given a definitive diagnosis of MS. Later, I picked up my medical records from Dr Ellis. There, in black and white, it said, "She likely has MS." "

"I saw him for a follow-up after having a TIA and he had an EEG performed, telling me he'd call on Monday to let me know if the diagnosis had been correct or if I'd had a stroke. He didn't call until Wednesday. Reaching him was impossible. The hospital unit is understaffed. The phone and fax didn't work. I did not feel I was in good hands and am moving on."

What is Neurology?

Neurology is the study of the brain and nervous system, including the spinal cord and nerves. Disorders of the nervous system can affect many parts of the body, and a neurological exam must be quite thorough. A neurologist examining a new patient will check for any issues with:

motor skills (the way your brain and muscles work together)
sensory skills (sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell)
nerve function
coordination and balance
changes in mood or behavior

A neurologist can order different kinds of tests to check the function of the brain and nerves. These tests may include a head CT scan (a type of 3-dimensional x-ray), an electroencephalogram (which measures the electrical impulses inside the brain), an MRI (a detailed image of the brain or spinal cord), or electromyography (which uses electricity to test nerve function). The results of the exam and the tests help neurologists diagnose and form treatment plans for disorders like multiple sclerosis, tremors, stroke, and migraine headaches.

Some neurological problems, such as certain brain tumors, may require surgical treatment. Since neurologists do not perform surgery, they will refer patients who need operations to a surgical subspecialist, such as a neurosurgeon. Beyond surgery, a neurologist might recommend any of the following treatments:

medication (such as interferon for MS or topiramate for migraines)
laser therapy (class IV laser treatment is sometimes used to alleviate peripheral neuropathy pain)
physical therapy (stretches and exercises can increase balance and range of motion, helping patients to move more easily and with less pain)

Therapies such as these can improve quality of life for patients dealing with neurological disorders. Neurologists help their patients sense and interact with the world at their very best.
