Pet Neurology Services
At Atlantic Coast New York Veterinary Specialists, pets with neurological conditions receive comprehensive medical and surgical care from our veterinary neurologist.
During your appointment, our veterinary neurologist will complete a detailed neurological exam to learn if, and which part of your pet's nervous system is affected.
Following the exam, the neurologist will explain what's most likely causing these issues for your pet. Diagnostic imaging can help us determine the exact cause and available treatment options required. These may include surgery, intensive care or medical therapy.
