Virtual Neurology Services

Neuro2Go is our on-demand, face-to-face chat with a board-certified neurologist to discuss a new neurologic concern affecting you or a loved one. Great for folks who have never been to the neurologist and need up-to-the-minute information. Are you worried about a family member with memory loss, a headache that won't go away, or another neurologic condition? Our neurologists will give you answers and provide next-step recommendations.
No insurance is required. A fee of $95 is paid at the time of scheduling. Same and next weekday appointments available. Click to Schedule Neuro2Go.
Neuro2Go differs from a traditional medical office or TeleHealth visit where a patient is evaluated inclusive of a comprehensive medical history and physical examination, often followed by complex medical decision making.
