Neurology
The Mercy Neuroscience Center offers leading technology and professional staff to help ensure our inpatients receive the best care possible. With most services available in one location, the Center also seeks to provide patients with a level of convenience not available at most other facilities.
Among the first community hospitals in the country to have the "Compass" and "Regulus Stereotactic Neurological Systems," Mercy strives to stay on the leading edge of neurosurgery technology.
The Center's staff includes physicians specializing in neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology, neuro-oncology and neurodiagnostics. A specially trained staff of neuroscience nurses, technicians and rehabilitation professions are available to patients.
Neurodiagnostic
Neurodiagnostic is a specialized department offering testing that helps to diagnose disorders and diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. The primary tests performed in the lab include electroencephalogram (EEG) studies.
