  Neurophysiology Laboratory  
   

The neurophysiology laboratory at Spartanburg Neurological Services, PA includes a broad array of diagnostic services. The diagnostic services include: electroencephalography (EEG); evoked potentials such as visual evoked potentials (VER), brainstem audiometry evoked response (BAER), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP); nerve conduction studies and neuromuscular transmission studies; electromyography including single fiber electromyography and motor unit analysis; motor nerve reflex studies (H-reflex and F-wave analysis); autonomic function testing for dysautonomia; sensory threshold testing and other specialized testing sometimes customized to evaluate specific illnesses.

The purpose of this laboratory is the application of academic quality diagnostic services in a medically sophisticated environment far away from any university medical center setting.
We believe that this is the only appropriate standard of care in our community. Our physicians have a combined experience of 70 years in neurophysiology including fellowship training, board certification and support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association clinic, contributions to academic publications and clinical research in our fields of study, and participation in technician training leading to board certification. Our neurological fellowship training encompasses neuromuscular disease of all types in children and adults, epilepsy and other disorders of episodic loss of consciousness and confusion, sleep disorders, dysautonomia, degenerative and demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis, and the effects of many disease processes on the central nervous, peripheral nervous and muscular systems. For further references please see the curriculum vitae for doctors Ringel, Gheorghiu, McBurney, Potes, Iosso and Zortea.

We continually update our skills with our academic colleagues. We do not condone untrained physicians, chiropractors, independent therapists and independent companies performing portions of diagnostic testing as the appropriate supervision of the test, completion of the test and skill of the interpreter may be inferior. Our laboratory is in conformance with the guidelines of the American Academy of Neurology, The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, The American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and The American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
