What to filter for
Search by what you're dealing with — migraines, seizures, tremor, memory loss — most directories let you filter or search by symptom.
General neurologist vs. a fellowship-trained subspecialist (epileptologist, movement disorder specialist, neuro-oncologist, etc.).
Filter by your plan on Zocdoc, Healthgrades, or Medicare Care Compare before you book, or call the office to confirm they're in-network.
Ask if the practice runs EEGs (routine or ambulatory) in-office, or if you'll be referred to an outside lab or epilepsy center.
Ask if the practice performs EMG/nerve conduction studies on-site — important for neuropathy, muscle weakness, and neuromuscular workups.
Ask whether the practice offers formal cognitive testing (e.g., MoCA, neuropsychological evaluation) for memory or dementia concerns.
FAQ
What's the difference between a neurologist and a headache specialist?
All headache specialists are neurologists (or in some cases other MDs), but only some neurologists pursue additional UCNS certification in Headache Medicine — worth asking about if your migraines are frequent or hard to control.
When should I see a migraine specialist instead of my general neurologist?
If you're having headaches 15+ days a month, your current treatment isn't working, or you're a candidate for newer options like CGRP inhibitors or Botox for chronic migraine.
