Hyman-Newman Institute for Neurology
and Neurosurgery (INN)
The Hyman-Newman Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery
(INN) provides internationally recognized adult and pediatric
services with specialty treatments both medical and
surgical for illnesses of the nervous system.
At the INN, we integrate the knowledge and experience of
a full array of medical and surgical specialists, as well
as professionals in allied health fields, on behalf of patients
and their families. Every case is reviewed by a team drawn
from the INN's comprehensive, multidisciplinary staff.
The staff includes adult and pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons,
neuro-oncologists, nutritionists, nurse practitioners, acute-care
nurses, psychiatrists, social workers, health psychologists,
pain managers, physicians' assistants, and technicians,
all of whom are experts in their fields.
In addition, the INN offers diagnosis and treatment of neurological
disorders that can be caused by cancer. This approach can
improve your quality of life by anticipating and treating
neurologic symptoms. For patients with neurological disorders
related to cancer, we will help make arrangements to obtain
clinic notes, neuroimaging scans, pathology slides, laboratory
test results, and other diagnostic neurology evaluations,
such as EEG, EMG/NCV, and angiography results.
Members of the INN staff maintain close working relationships
with referring physicians. As recommendations are finalized,
we contact your referring physicians by phone or fax regarding
your diagnoses and our recommended treatment plan. A formal
consultation note is also sent to the referring physician
within one week. In addition, to ensure continuity of care,
we encourage you to follow up with your primary care or referring
physicians.
