A neurologist, also known as a neuro physician, is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists use a variety of techniques, such as imaging studies and neurological examinations, to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.
Neurologists typically work in hospitals, clinics, or private practices. They may collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and physical therapists, to provide comprehensive care to patients with neurological disorders.
In addition to diagnosing and treating neurological conditions, neurologists may also conduct research to better understand the underlying causes of neurological disorders and develop new treatments. They may also provide education and support to patients and their families about managing their condition and improving their quality of life.

Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions in children, from newborns to teenagers. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and genetic disorders that affect the nervous system.
Pediatric neurologists undergo extensive training in both pediatrics and neurology. They have completed a residency in pediatrics, followed by additional training in neurology with a focus on pediatric neurology. They are knowledgeable about the unique neurological needs of children and work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians, neurosurgeons, and physical therapists, to provide comprehensive care to their patients.
In addition to diagnosing and treating neurological conditions in children, pediatric neurologists may also provide education and support to families about managing their child’s condition and improving their quality of life. They may also conduct research to advance the understanding of pediatric neurological disorders and develop new treatments.

Surgical neurophysicians, also known as neurosurgeons, are medical doctors who specialize in the surgical treatment of neurological conditions. They diagnose and treat conditions that affect the brain, spine, and nervous system, including brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and epilepsy.
Surgical neurophysicians undergo extensive training in both neurology and surgery. After completing medical school, they typically complete a residency in neurosurgery, which can last five to seven years. During this time, they gain experience in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions and performing surgical procedures.
Surgical neurophysicians may use a variety of surgical techniques to treat neurological conditions, including minimally invasive procedures, such as endoscopic surgery, and traditional open surgery. They work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as neurologists, radiologists, and physical therapists, to provide comprehensive care to their patients.
In addition to performing surgeries, surgical neurophysicians may also conduct research to advance the understanding of neurological conditions and develop new treatments. They may also provide education and support to patients and their families about managing their condition and improving their quality of life.

Developmental pediatricians
A developmental pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental and behavioral problems in children. They work with children who have a range of developmental conditions, such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and developmental delays.
Developmental pediatricians undergo extensive training in pediatrics, child development, and behavior. They typically complete a residency in pediatrics and then additional fellowship training in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, which can last three years.
Developmental pediatricians assess children’s developmental progress, behavior, and overall health. They may perform developmental screenings and evaluations to diagnose developmental disorders, and work with other healthcare professionals to develop treatment plans for children with developmental conditions.
Treatment plans may include medication, therapy, or other interventions to help children overcome developmental challenges and reach their full potential. Developmental pediatricians also work closely with parents and caregivers to provide education and support on how to manage their child’s condition and improve their quality of life.
In addition to clinical work, developmental pediatricians may also conduct research to advance the understanding of developmental disorders and develop new treatments. They may also provide education and training to other healthcare professionals on how to identify and manage developmental and behavioral conditions in children.

behavioral analysts
A behavior analyst is a professional who uses the principles of behaviorism to understand, analyze, and modify behavior. They typically work with individuals who have developmental or behavioral disorders, such as autism, ADHD, or anxiety disorders.
Behavior analysts use techniques such as observation, data collection, and functional analysis to assess the behavior of their clients. Based on their assessment, they develop a behavior intervention plan that targets specific behaviors to be changed or reinforced.
The behavior intervention plan may include techniques such as positive reinforcement, shaping, and prompting to modify behavior. The behavior analyst works closely with the client and their caregivers to implement the plan and monitor progress.
Behavior analysts also provide education and training to clients and caregivers on how to modify behavior and improve communication and social skills. They may work in a variety of settings, including schools, clinics, hospitals, and community agencies.
To become a behavior analyst, one typically needs a master’s or doctoral degree in behavior analysis or a related field, as well as certification from a professional organization such as the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
