Division of Neurology
Nemours is a leading pediatric health care organization, focused on superior outcomes and family-centered care. The clinical mission of the Division of Neurology is to provide evidence-based, current care, and opinion regarding neurologic disorders or disorders with a suspected neurologic component.
In the case of suspected or known neurologic disorders, we aim to provide the best outcomes possible based upon the most scientifically valid reasoning and techniques, and work in partnership with the child’s own primary care provider.
In our division, we embrace the belief that the best care of the individual patient recognizes the whole child and all of the many factors that can impact the child’s health.
Inpatient neurologic consultation is routinely available at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE, and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
We also have outpatient office sites in:
- Wilmington, DE
- Philadelphia (Center City)
- Newtown Square, PA
- Lancaster, PA
- Voorhees, NJ
- Egg Harbor Township, NJ
With six full-time and three part-time neurologists, six advanced practice nurses, and one physician assistant, we’re able to reasonably accommodate most requests for consultation on an outpatient basis.
Our staff has special areas of interest and experience in the diagnosis
and management of:
- epilepsy/seizure disorders
- neuromuscular disorders
- migraine headaches
- neurologically mediated sleep disorders
- metabolic and inflammatory disorders primarily affecting the brain,
spinal cord, and peripheral nerves
When indicated, we provide the following procedural services in conjunction with our clinical neurophysiology/EEG/sleep medicine laboratory and day medicine unit:
- routine electroencephalogram (EEG) recording and interpretation
- prolonged EEG monitoring
- outpatient antimigraine intravenous therapy
- outpatient immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy
- outpatient lumbar puncture
- polysomnography
