3-Step Neurology Examination Process at Thien Nhan Hospital

With the goal of providing a quick, convenient, and seamless experience, the neurology examination process at Thien Nhan Hospital is completed in just three simple steps:

Step 1: Clinical Examination

The doctor will assess symptoms and perform a general physical examination, including measuring blood pressure, listening to the heart and lungs, and checking for other clinical signs (such as reflexes, sensation, movement, and balance). The doctor will also review the patient’s medical history to identify initial signs and recommend the necessary steps for the next phase of the examination.

Step 2: Subclinical Examination

The patient will undergo advanced diagnostic tests, imaging, and specialized assessments using modern equipment such as MRI, CT scans, EEG, carotid ultrasound, blood tests, etc., to thoroughly evaluate the structure, function, and detect potential abnormalities.

Step 3: Consultation with a Specialist

After the subclinical results are available, the neurologist will analyze the findings, provide an accurate diagnosis, and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Additionally, the patient will receive advice on nutrition, lifestyle, and home care to optimize treatment effectiveness. The doctor will also provide guidance on follow-up appointments or refer the patient to more specialized departments if necessary.
