Expert Care

The Henry Ford Neuroscience Institute is one of the nation's top centers for neurological diseases. We bring together the best in diagnostic, medical, interventional, and surgical expertise to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases.

Neurological diseases can impact the brain, spine, spinal cord, muscles, nerves, balance, speech and other senses. With more than 1,000 types of neurological diseases, specialization is vital for a correct diagnosis and treatment.

To ensure the best care approach for each patient, teams of expert physicians meet regularly in Multidisciplinary Case Review Boards for patients seeking first or second opinions of the most complex conditions.
