The Neurosciences at Loyola
Loyola University Health System’s (Loyola) neurosciences program weaves together neurological surgeons, neurologists, otolaryngologists and neuropsychiatrists, with their supporting colleagues, to deliver the latest treatments and research with the compassionate care for which Loyola is known. Together, our physicians and caregivers form a cohesive unit that seamlessly delivers optimal treatments to our patients.
Meeting the Challenges of Neurological Disorder
Neurological disorders can be caused by a wide range of factors, from genetic abnormalities or immune system deficiencies, to injury to the brain or nervous system or diabetes. As such, neurological disorders may be diverse, chronic and challenging to treat. Loyola’s physicians achieve the best medical care for each patient by working as an multidisciplinary team to develop a customized treatment plan.
Backed by a System of Care
Loyola’s neurosciences program is backed by the strength of the Loyola University Health System. Some 5,000 physicians, medical professionals, researchers, educators and support staff are available to meet the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of each individual who comes for care.
Loyola is a leader in conducting research in the treatment of neurological disorders. We pursue clinical and basic research and, through our affiliation with the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, educate new residents and investigators.
Loyola’s neurosciences team views patient care as a partnership among the patient, the family, the referring physician and our specialists. We work to ensure that the process of referring a patient to Loyola is a smooth one. We are available for clinical consultations and after treatment, when patients are returned to the care of the referring physician, to answer questions.
