Doctors of USC

The Doctors of USC are renowned for their expertise in the field of neurology, providing comprehensive care for all neurological disorders, simple and complex. In addition to diagnosis and short-term care, our neurology team also provides personalized long-term management of chronic neurological diseases in a community-based, academic setting.

Weiner Neurological Care and Research Center/USC University Hospital, this program provides an integrated approach to clinical diagnosis, neurophysiologic testing and treatment options for patients with various neuromuscular disorders. Services include clinical and diagnostic evaluation for patients with neuropathies, immune-mediated neuropathies, diabetic neuropathies and neuropathic pain.
