Your Brain – Our Priority
Your brain is unique – your care should be too. We believe that the best care and treatment for neurological disorders is personalized to the needs of each patient.
That’s why when you visit the Fixel Institute, you see experts from neurology, neurosurgery, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more.
Because at the Fixel Institute, we believe you – the patient – should be at the center with your care team revolving around you.
Patient care in one location
Living with a neurological disease can bring a new set of challenges – receiving care and treatment should not.
That’s why we make it easy to get all your care and treatment needs met at the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases.
When you visit our clinic, you can have appointments to not only see your neurologist but also receive your physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutritional guidance and more – all during your visit.
Because of our belief that patient care needs a collaborative approach, we house all the experts from neurologists to social workers and neurosurgeons, to speech and swallow therapists all under one roof.
Comprehensive care
Navigating a movement disorder shouldn’t be overwhelming. Our clinic brings together over 30 specialists to provide coordinated, expert care for Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremor, Tourette syndrome, and more than 10 complex movement conditions—all in one place, all focused on you.
Your memory and brain health are our priority. At the Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Memory Disorder Clinic, we offer expert evaluation and compassionate care for individuals experiencing memory loss—whether due to Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other conditions. Our team also partners closely with caregivers to support your full circle of care.
When nerve and muscle function is disrupted, expert care matters. At the ALS & Neuromuscular Disorder Clinic, we provide comprehensive, personalized treatment for conditions like ALS, myasthenia gravis, and peripheral neuropathies—helping you manage symptoms and maintain quality of life with a team you can trust.
Recovering from a brain injury means more than healing physically—it’s about restoring your whole self. At the Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, we care for patients with everything from mild concussions to severe injuries, offering personalized treatment plans that address both the physical and cognitive impacts of TBI.
Navigating life with multiple sclerosis or a neuroimmune disorder can be challenging—but you don’t have to do it alone. At the MS & Neuroimmunology Disorders Clinic, we provide compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to offer advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and supportive therapies—all under one roof. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or seeking specialized management, we’re here to support your journey toward improved health and quality of life.
