If you experience the signs and symptoms of a neurological condition, our doctors may order one or more tests to determine your diagnosis. A neurological exam will often include diagnostic testing of your brain, spine, and nerve function. The results of these tests help your Dignity Health Central Coast neurologist determine the best treatment for you and your well-being.
Finding Answers with Diagnostic Tests
