Overview

The Division of Child Neurology and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities performs comprehensive evaluations and treatment of children with suspected disorders of the nervous system.  We provide educational services for the medical school and research opportunities for families and patients.  Our work is conducted in close coordination with the primary care physician, and, if needed, the child’s school.  We have specialty services focusing in neurological or developmental subspecialties.  We work in close conjunction with multiple other divisions and departments to provide additional subspecialty services including Concussion, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, and Neuro-Oncology.

Our outpatient offices provide evaluations for developmental and neurologic conditions from birth until age 21 years.  We provide numerous services including electroencephalography, evoked potentials, referral for neuroimaging, and more.  The pediatric neurology outpatient clinic is located at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Child Health Institute of New Jersey, Second Floor, 89 French Street, New Brunswick.  Clinics are held five days per week. Please call 732-235-7875 for an appointment. 

We also provide inpatient services for children and young adults with neurological conditions ages 0 to 21 years, and participate in the inpatient floors, neonatal intensive care unit, pediatric intensive care unit, pediatric oncology wing, pediatric emergency room, and adolescent floor in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital.

The division oversees the education of the pediatric residents and medical students during their respective pediatric neurology electives and using a comprehensive review of the pediatric neurology curriculum for medical students, residents, fellows and nurses.   The neurology team is actively involved in hospital education and policy formulation at the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital (BMSCH) participating on multiple Hospital and Medical School committees.  In addition, we provide didactic education to medical students for their Neurology basic sciences course, as well as to child psychiatry fellows and genetic counseling students.
