Patients may need a neurologist if they are experiencing dizziness, seizures, black-outs, numbness, tingling, weakness, paralysis or lack of coordination. Those with diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or cancer may also be referred to a neurologist.
Dr. MacFalda completed an internship, residency and fellowship in neurology at Sparrow Health System in East Lansing.
