Neurology

Neurology examines the anatomic and physiologic features of the neural system and its defects and clinical syndromes arising for various reasons. Sub-branches of neurology have emerged due to scientific developments. The well-organization of neurology departments makes diagnosing and treating neurologic diseases easier. A team of experienced neurologists serves at Okan University Hospital for patients in this subject.
