Based on your response of wanting to be assessed for physical symptoms rather than cognitive (thinking) problems, we think you should seek services from a neurologist, NOT a neuropsychologist. We only have neuropsychologists on staff at Minder. Below is some information that can help you better understand why we made this determination and what type of provider would be best for you.
How Does Neurology Differ From Neuropsychology?
Neurologists focus on diagnosing and treating physical symptoms (e.g., tremor, weakness, seizures) and causes of brain disorders, often using medication. In contrast, neuropsychologists focus on diagnosing and treating the cognitive (e.g., memory, attention, language) symptoms of brain disorders, without medication. Both specialists could diagnose and treat a patient for different aspects of the same disorder. The neurologist would focus on diagnosing/treating the physical aspects, while the neuropsychologist would concentrate on diagnosing/treating the cognitive symptoms of the disorder.
So Now What?
How Do I Find A Provider?
You can call your insurance provider and ask them for the names of some providers who are "in-network" with your current plan. But Minder can also refer you to one of our trusted partners! If you’re specifically looking for a great telehealth option, we have a partnership with Telemed2U who provides comprehensive virtual neurology care. You can click on their logo below to book an appointment with them!
