Empowering patients and families through expert diagnosis, treatment, and support.
The Atlanta Neuroscience Institute (ANI) exists to improve the health and hope of patients and caregivers impacted by chronic neurological conditions through advocacy, education, advanced treatment, and research, leading to a more promising future.
Whether you have just been diagnosed with a neurological condition, are undergoing treatment, or are on the path to recovery, we’re here to help. To get started, tell us where you are in your journey.
MS is a chronic, unpredictable, and often difficult to diagnose disease which affects the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord). It is believed to be an autoimmune disorder (a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the person’s own tissue).
Parkinson’s/Movement Disorder (PD) is the second commonest neurodegenerative disorder in the United States, affecting approximately 1 in 300 people. It is named after Dr. James Parkinson who first described “the shaking palsy”.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive degenerative neurologic disease that causes premature loss of brain cells leading to progressive memory loss and cognitive failure over time.
Epilepsy is a complex neurological condition that requires more than just a prescription medication as a treatment. I evaluate each person’s case and situation as an individual and work to manage their epilepsy to optimize their long-term health, safety, and independence.

Occasional forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging, but memory changes that disrupt daily life deserve medical attention. The key difference is not simply how often someone forgets. It is whether the change is getting worse, affecting familiar tasks, creating safety risks, or interfering with independence.
If your doctor has recommended a memory assessment, or you have been thinking about scheduling one, you probably want to know what the appointment will actually involve.
At Atlanta Neuroscience Institute, board-certified neurologists provide memory evaluations to help you understand what is causing your symptoms. Knowing what to expect can make the appointment feel less intimidating.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often incorrectly called a “mini-stroke,” is a temporary interruption of blood flow to part of the brain. While symptoms may resolve within minutes or hours, a TIA should never be ignored. It is often a warning sign that a future stroke may occur and requires immediate medical evaluation to identify underlying risk factors and help prevent more serious neurological events.
