Dr. Jaspreet Johal is a specialist in neurology (brain & spinal cord disease). He works in Ithaca, NY. He studied at St. George's University School of Medicine.

"I went to see Dr. Johal for multiple neurological symptoms and barely started to describe what I’ve been experiencing when he jumped into prescribing me medications, also before examining me. I made it clear that I hadn’t heard of any of the medications he was mentioning and he didn’t take the time to explain my options, yet assumed I would be able to make an informed decision. It felt as though he wasn’t really paying attention because he was constantly looking at his Apple Watch. I had to repeat myself multiple times and he would often pause halfway through talking to read a new notification on his Apple Watch. I wasn’t able to discuss/get care for most of my symptoms and it was a waste of a visit. "

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.
