Telehealth Neurology Care

Table of Contents

    For many patients across Texas and Florida — especially in rural and underserved communities — subspecialty movement-disorder and neurological care simply isn’t available nearby. Telehealth changes that, bringing Neurology Solutions’ specialty neurology care to you — wherever you live — while local providers are used only for services that physically require an in-person visit.

    This page explains how subspecialty neurological care is delivered remotely, how hands-on needs are handled close to home, and who telehealth is right for. Telehealth isn’t a separate, stand-alone service — it’s how you become a Neurology Solutions patient, with our Brain Health & Metabolic Optimization Program incorporated when clinically appropriate, so movement-disorder care and long-term brain-health optimization can be pursued together. Telehealth availability depends on licensing requirements and the patient’s location.

    Expert Neurological Care, Delivered Remotely

    Your telehealth visits are directed by the same subspecialty movement-disorder physician managing your neurological care — not a rotating telehealth provider. Delivered remotely, that includes:

    • Video visits with a specialist who already knows your case.
    • Medication management and proactive treatment planning, guided by subspecialty judgment.
    • Review of your labs and imaging results together, in plain language.
    • Ongoing specialist oversight of your overall care, helping you identify appropriate local resources only when a service must be done in person.

    Local Support for In-Person Services

    Neurology Solutions remains your specialist for the thinking, planning, and direction of your care. When a service physically requires being there in person, we help you identify an appropriate local resource. Those services may include:

    • Neurological examinations.
    • Emergency care.
    • Imaging, such as MRI, CT, or DaTscan.
    • Laboratory testing.
    • Procedures.
    • Surgery.
    • DBS battery replacement, surgical evaluation, hardware-related issues, or other DBS procedure-related needs.

    In every case, Neurology Solutions continues to direct your specialty neurological care — these providers simply deliver the hands-on service itself.

    Who Telehealth Is Right For

    This program is designed for patients across Texas and Florida — including those in rural and underserved communities — who want subspecialty neurology care led by a movement-disorder expert. It is often a strong fit if you:

    • Are managing Parkinson’s disease or another movement disorder and want ongoing specialist involvement.
    • Have a DBS device and want a movement-disorder specialist managing your ongoing care — including programming that can often be done remotely.
    • Do not have a subspecialty movement-disorder center available nearby.
    • Find travel difficult because of distance, mobility, or caregiver logistics.
    • Want your neurological care directed by a specialist who knows your case, not a rotating provider.

    Telehealth is generally not appropriate for medical emergencies or brand-new, complex problems that require a hands-on evaluation. If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911.

    What Telehealth Can and Cannot Do

    Being clear about the role of telehealth is part of good care. Here is an honest look at what we handle remotely and what needs to be handled in person.

    What Telehealth Can Do

    • Follow-up visits and medication management.
    • Review symptoms, lab results, and imaging together.
    • Adjust and optimize your treatment plan.
    • Provide ongoing DBS care — programming, troubleshooting, treatment planning, and specialist oversight — with many programming sessions performed remotely when your device supports it.
    • Answer questions, guide your care, and provide education — with your caregiver included.

    Provided Locally, In Person

    • The hands-on neurological or physical exam, when one is needed.
    • Imaging, laboratory testing, and in-office procedures.
    • Surgery, DBS battery replacement, surgical evaluation, and hardware-related needs.
    • Emergency care — always call 911 for urgent problems.

    Telehealth for Follow-Up Care

    Movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, tremor, and dystonia change over time, and expert follow-up is where much of the clinical value happens. Telehealth lets Dr. Izor track your symptoms and refine your treatment plan with the same subspecialty judgment used in person — recognizing early signs of progression, fine-tuning medications as your condition evolves, and catching problems before they become urgent.

    For patients managing a chronic movement disorder, that kind of expert, ongoing clinical oversight can make a meaningful difference in day-to-day function and quality of life.

    Your DBS Care Stays With Neurology Solutions

    If you have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device, your ongoing care stays with the same subspecialty team that understands DBS in depth. Since 2005, Dr. Izor has been involved in more than 400 DBS procedures involving over 800 implanted leads — experience that directly shapes how your device is programmed and managed, including directional current and interleaving.

    • Specialist review of your symptoms, response, and goals over time.
    • Ongoing DBS programming and adjustments — performed remotely when your device and platform support it, using the same programming expertise applied in person.
    • Treatment planning, troubleshooting, and medication management, led by a movement-disorder subspecialist.
    • A provider near you for needs that require in-person care — battery replacement, surgical evaluation, hardware-related issues, and other procedure-related needs.
    • Second opinions available for DBS devices programmed elsewhere.

    Whether your programming is handled remotely or requires an in-person visit depends on your specific device, its platform, your needs, and your clinical circumstances — we tailor the approach to you. When clinically appropriate, we may recommend a DBS device platform that better supports remote follow-up, so more of your care can be delivered by telehealth.

    This is the same DBS expertise you would receive in person, directed by the same movement-disorder specialist — wherever you live.

    Caregiver Participation

    Telehealth makes it simple for a spouse, adult child, or care partner to take part in your visit — even from a different location. That shared involvement can make care safer and less stressful, especially when memory, communication, or mobility are a concern.

    • Caregivers can join from anywhere, so no one has to coordinate travel.
    • An extra set of ears helps with questions, notes, and next steps.
    • Families stay informed and involved in your care plan.

    Subspecialty Expertise, Wherever You Live

    Neurology Solutions brings fellowship-trained, subspecialty movement-disorder expertise to patients across Texas and Florida — including rural and underserved communities where that level of care typically isn’t available locally. Dr. Izor’s experience spans more than two decades of movement-disorder management and over 400 DBS procedures; telehealth extends that same expertise to wherever you live.

    • Fellowship-trained, subspecialty movement-disorder care — not a general neurologist or telehealth-only provider.
    • The same clinical judgment used for in-person patients, applied to your case remotely.
    • A meaningful option for patients with limited mobility or in rural areas who would otherwise have to travel long distances for this level of expertise.
    • Care from the comfort and privacy of home, over a secure video connection.

    Functional Medicine & Metabolic Optimization

    Beyond movement-disorder care, your remote visits support the Brain Health & Metabolic Optimization Program when clinically appropriate. Several components can be delivered by telehealth, including:

    • Hormone and peptide consultations
    • Physical therapy guidance
    • Review of Vibrant Wellness functional lab testing results
    • BloomAxis GutAdapt & Detox Protocol follow-up

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is telehealth available where I live?

    Telehealth availability depends on licensing requirements and the patient’s location. Our program is currently available to patients located in Texas and Florida — reach out and we will confirm the options available to you.

    Can I begin as a new patient through telehealth, or do I need an in-person visit first?

    Many patients can begin their care through telehealth. Some situations — such as a new or complex diagnosis — may call for an in-person evaluation first. Our recommendation depends on your specific condition and needs, and we will let you know what makes the most sense for you.

    Do I still need a local doctor?

    Neurology Solutions is your specialty neurology relationship. A provider near you is used only when a service must be done in person — for example, an exam, imaging, a procedure, or surgery.

    What happens if I need an exam, imaging, or surgery?

    When an in-person service is needed, we’ll help you identify appropriate local resources and make recommendations based on your situation.

    How does DBS care work through telehealth?

    Neurology Solutions provides your ongoing DBS programming, troubleshooting, treatment planning, and specialist oversight. Many follow-up and programming sessions can be handled remotely when your device and platform support it, while some needs — such as battery replacement, surgical evaluation, or hardware-related issues — require an in-person provider. The right mix depends on your device, its platform, and your clinical needs. When appropriate, we may recommend a device platform that better supports remote follow-up.

    Can my caregiver or family member join?

    Absolutely. Telehealth makes it easy for a caregiver or family member to take part in your visit, even from a different location.

    Is telehealth the same care you provide in person?

    Yes — the same physician-directed, subspecialty neurological care, delivered remotely.

    What do I need for a telehealth visit?

    A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and an internet connection. We will send you a secure link to join your visit — no special software or technical experience required.
