This includes any radiology test results and records of surgery. We need all of the medical records related to your neurological condition. Before you come in, please take a moment to write down questions for the doctor. So we encourage you to ask questions to be clear on things. It is important for you to understand why and how you will receive treatment. This helps us set up everything properly. They may also ask what your doctor has arranged for you. While you are on the phone scheduling your first visit, our staff may ask questions about your illness. Have it ready for the doctor, along with your own questions about what we can do for you. To make the most of your first visit, gather all your personal medical information.
Getting started at the Neuroscience Institute
We want to be known around the world as a center for excellence in research, patient care and teaching. Penn State Neuroscience Institute has an ambitious goal. Scientists and medical professionals who know more can do more for their patients and the world of medicine. We want patients with neurological (nervous system) and psychiatric (mental) diseases to benefit from new treatments. The institute also encourages teaching, to share new care methods that come from research. Scientists everywhere want to know more about the human brain and how it works. Penn State Neuroscience Institute makes it possible for teams of brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve experts to conduct research together.
