Biography

Neurologists are doctors who are trained in diagnosing and treating conditions of the brain and nervous system. Since neurology deals with the brain and nervous system, there are several conditions that neurologists could diagnose and treat. Many of these neurologists study a certain subset of neurology once they finish their training. Some of the conditions neurologist Dr. Atampreet Singh treats are:

• Brachial Plexus Avulsion
• Brachial Plexus Injuries - Brachial Plexus Injury At Bith
• Encephalitis
• Myelitis
• Epilepsy
• Brain Cancer
• Brachial Plexus Rupture
• Neurosyphilis
• Brain Stroke
• Meningitis
• Erb's Palsy
• Reye Syndrome

The neurologist evaluates the condition of patients completely to know the reason of the illness. The neurological disorders are either cancers (benign, malignant) or infections (caused by fungus, virus, bacteria). The risk of developing these diseases increases with age.
