Does my child (the patient) need to be present for the appointment?

​

Usually, yes.
Part of the neurological evaluation involves observing your child, and in many cases, I am able to complete a very thorough neurological exam virtually,

including assessments of strength, coordination, gait, eye movements, and other

key neurological functions. For older children and teens, their input about their symptoms is extremely important.

If you would like a few minutes to speak with me privately during the visit, this can easily be arranged (for example, by having your child step into another room).

Just let me know when scheduling or at the start of your appointment.

​​​

Will my insurance cover my visit?

​​​

 

Usually yes, we are currently enrolled in Colorado Medicaid

​

Can I get a same-day appointment?

​

Same-day or next-day appointments are often available.​​

 

Do you prescribe medications?

​

Yes. When appropriate, I can prescribe medications for conditions such as headaches, seizures, ADHD, and others. I follow safe and evidence-based prescribing practices.
In some cases, I may need past medical records to ensure continuity of care.

​​​

Can you provide diagnosis codes (ICD-10)?

​

Yes. Diagnosis codes can be provided:

• for your child’s personal medical records

• to support coordination of care with other providers

 

Can my child be seen if we live out of state?

​

Your child must be physically located in:

• Colorado

• Florida (coming soon)

Telemedicine laws require that I be licensed in the state where the patient is located during the visit.

​​

Do you write letters for school or accommodations (IEP/504)?

​

Yes, I can provide clinical letters for schools, including documentation of diagnoses, recommendations for accommodations, or medication information.

​

Do you order labs or imaging?

​

Yes. If needed, I can order labs or imaging studies such as EEGs or MRIs. These can be completed at local hospitals or imaging centers.

 

How long are appointments?

• Initial consultations are longer so I can fully understand your child’s history and concerns.

• Follow-up visits are slightly shorter and focused on progress, adjustments, and next steps.

• Medication management visits generally shorter if stable on medication. 

 

​

What if my child needs an in-person neurological exam?

​

If an in-person exam is needed, I will let you know and direct you to the appropriate local resources or specialists.
