Welcome to neurodiagnostic testing at McLean

At MedStar Health-McLean, our experienced neurodiagnostic team offers innovative techniques to accurately diagnose and regularly monitor routine as well as complex brain, nerve, muscle, and spinal cord disorders. We are also part of MedStar Georgetown University Hospital – a nationally recognized program known for its clinical excellence and research innovations. You now have access to this high-quality care right in your neighborhood!

Our experts include board-certified neurologists and certified technologists who perform comprehensive neurological studies for adults and children. Committed to keeping you well-informed, we ensure that you clearly understand every step of the testing process while patiently answering all questions. We also share preliminary results with you verbally the day of procedures and final reports with your referring physicians electronically within about 24 hours. Those care providers will then discuss the results with you and develop treatment plans that address your specific medical conditions and support your overall wellness goals.

Our highly skilled and compassionate neurodiagnostic professionals offer:

• Electroencephalogram (EEG) – a painless procedure that measures and evaluates electrical activities in your brain to diagnose epilepsy, seizures, migraines, and other neurological disorders. 

• Electromyography with Nerve Conduction Studies (EMG/NCS) – an advanced test that examines electrical activities in your muscles, nerves, and the pathways between them to assess symptoms ranging from radiating pain and limb numbness to muscle weakness and tingling sensations.

• Tilt Table Test – an effective study that uses a specialized table to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure when lying down and sitting up to help diagnose causes of dizziness and fainting.

When combined with free parking and flexible scheduling, we are ready to provide you with the stellar neurodiagnostic care you need at a convenient location in McLean! Contact us today at 202-295-0540, option 2, for an appointment.
