Teamwork and expertise for your neurologic health

Neurologic diseases affect how the entire body works. When something goes wrong with one part of the nervous system – brain, spinal cord or nerves – there can be trouble moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing or learning. Problems with memory, senses or mood can also occur.

Prevea Neuroscience strives to reduce such burdens for patients and their families. We understand the importance of teamwork, education and communication to help patients improve their quality of life and well-being. That’s why our comprehensive approach to care includes multiple specialized fields of medicine, each team working together to understand and treat neurologic and neuromuscular diseases.

Neuroscience

Neurointerventional surgery
Neurointerventional radiology is minimally-invasive surgery that uses state-of-the-art imaging technologies to treat specific head, neck, spine and brain disorders such as stroke and brain aneurysm. Expert care is available at our partner hospital and certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, HSHS St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Neurology
Neurology specializes in the nervous system and the diagnosis and treatment of its disorders including nerves, brain, spinal cord and muscles such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. Available at various Prevea health centers in Northeast Wisconsin.
Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology studies the brain areas that are responsible for thinking, emotions, intelligence and behavior to determine if a brain disorder or neurological disability exists and will recommend therapy if necessary. Available in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery diagnoses and surgically treats patients with brain, spinal cord, spinal column and peripheral nerve injuries, diseases and disorders including spine and brain tumors. Available in Northeast Wisconsin.
Pediatric neurology
Count on our renowned pediatric neurologist to provide compassionate care and progressive treatments for your child’s neurological disorders and conditions. Available at various Prevea health centers in Northeast Wisconsin for you and your child’s convenience.
