Also, you'll be able to take into consideration any recommendations your primary care doctor may offer. Another option is to solicit recommendations from people you can trust. If your primary physician hasn't already provided recommendations, then you might want to speak with them. Also, consult your family and friends about any neurologists they have worked with. Numerous online review websites can help you choose.
