Neurology at Triangle Primary Care Associates
Neurological health—covering everything from headaches and seizures to memory, movement, and nerve conditions—is integral to your overall well‑being. At Triangle Primary Care Associates, we offer integrated neurology services embedded within our primary care network—so you access expert neurological evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment without navigating multiple referrals.
What We Do: Our Neurology Services
- Neurological Exam & Screening: Our systematic assessments occur through the patient’s cognitive state (MMSE, MoCA), motor, sensory, coordination, reflexes, cranial nerves, and gait to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
- Diagnostic Testing Coordination: In the event of further tests being necessary, we arrange the MRI, CT scans, EEGs, EMGs, or nerve conduction studies, all coordinated through our care framework. This cohesive system limits unnecessary testing.
- Genetic Counseling & Neurogenetics: Neurogenetic counseling for diseases such as ALS, Huntington’s, or hereditary neuropathies that will help families in diagnosis and treatment planning is something we can connect you with.
Conditions We Treat
We support a broad spectrum of neurologic conditions, including but not limited to:
- Headaches & Migraines, including chronic and refractory cases
- Seizure Disorders & Epilepsy, with medication management and follow-up
- Stroke Prevention & Recovery, including risk factor control and rehab coordination

Our Integrated Process
Screen & Assess in Primary Care
Your primary provider screens for neurologic symptoms during wellness or sick visits and initiates early evaluation or referral.
Triage & Warm Handoff
Using neurologist-supported triage pathways, cases are swiftly directed—some for PCP management, others for immediate neurology consultation Lippincott Journals.
Neurologist Evaluation
Under our neurologists and APPs, an evaluation is performed with detailed exams, investigations are ordered, and individualized treatment plans are formulated.
Collaborative Care Planning
Your care team, including neurologists, PCPs, therapists, and care coordinators, gathers to review and provide optimal treatment towards your recovery.
Shared Decision Making
Collaboration with you and your family will always come first in deciding treatment, lifestyle modifications, testing, or medications.
Follow-Up & Return-To-Primary-Care
Stable patients return to primary care with continued support, and those with more complex issues remain within the neurology care pathway.

FAQs
When should I see a neurologist?
Common neurological conditions include: headaches, whether new or unusual; seizures; memory impairments; severe neuropathies; tremors; balance issues; stroke-talk symptoms. Your primary provider can help guide whether an evaluation in neurology is needed.
Will I be seeing the same neurologist?
Yes. We try to keep your care within the same neurologist or neuro trained APP, if possible, for continuity and convenience.
Will telehealth be possible for some follow-ups?
Yes, most follow-ups—particularly for chronic illnesses such as migraine and Parkinson’s—can be handled on a secure telemedicine platform.
Is treatment only in the form of drugs?
Not at all. We believe in a total/holistic approach, considering therapeutic options, lifestyle counseling, behavioral health, caregiver resources, and physical and rehabilitative therapies.
