What is a Paediatric Neurologist?
A paediatric neurologist is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and managing neurological conditions in children, from birth up to 18 years of age. Neurological conditions affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and can impact a child’s movement, learning, behaviour, or overall development.
Diagnosing neurological conditions in children
At our clinic, we provide a comprehensive range of advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure your child receives an accurate and timely diagnosis We use state-of-the-art technology in a relaxing, child-friendly environment to fully support your child throughout the process.
The diagnostic tests that our team of private paediatric neurologists use include:
- MRI scans: MRI scans allow your paediatric neurologist to check and detect any structural abnormalities or lesions in the brain
- Electroencephalography (EEG): EEG helps us study brain activity and identify epileptic or seizure-related abnormalities
- Neurophysiological tests: We examine nerve function through neurophysiological testing.
- Genetic testing: This helps us to diagnose or rule out neurogenetic disorders
- Neurophysiological assessments: Neurophysiological assessments allow us to identify any cognitive and behavioural differences.

Treatment plans for neurological disorders in children
Neurological conditions aren’t always curable, but we provide effective treatment approaches and management plans to support your child’s health and wellbeing.
Some of the treatment and management plans our paediatric neurologists can provide are:
- Medication: We can use different medicines to manage symptoms such as seizures in epilepsy. Sometimes, your child may need to try other medications at varying doses until we find the right one for their needs. Our paediatric neurologists will always support them.
- Behavioural therapy: This can help address behavioural and developmental challenges in conditions like autism.
- Neurorehabilitation: Personalised programmes help your child grow and improve their motor skills and functional abilities. This might include paediatric occupational therapy for your child.

“Dementech Neurosciences is a relatively new clinic specialising in the scientific assessment and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It represents a significant development in the treatment of Parkinson’s and has done a great job of establishing itself and its reputation in a short period of time. The premises are extremely well situated in central London, the consultant neurologists are all at the top of their field in their specialisation of the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, and the clinical and administrative staff are of a similar standard. The atmosphere of the clinic is positive and the results, in the short period of time I have been able to assess, have been similarly positive.”
