We specialize in the prevention, investigation, diagnosis and treatment of all categories of neurology disorders that affect the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles), such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and back pain.
During the neurological examination, we review the patient's health history with special attention to his/her current condition. The patient is then given a rigorous neurological exam which tests his/her mental status, the function of the cranial nerves (including vision), strength, coordination, reflexes and sensation.
Hospital Affiliations
Dr. Marx cares for patients at the following hospitals:
* Morristown Memorial Hospital (Morristown, NJ)
* St. Barnabas Medical Center (Livingston NJ)
The initial examination while requiring the neurologists special skills, experience and in depth knowledge, is a fairly simple, inexpensive and noninvasive procedure. The patient is put through a series of tests and answers various questions concerning the nervous system which in turn provide the necessary information to determine what might be wrong. Further tests may be needed to confirm a diagnosis and ultimately guide therapy and appropriate management. Below are some of the common that we diagnose & treat:
* Alzheimer's disease
* Epilepsy (seizures)
* Multiple sclerosis
