Florida Telehealth — Coming Soon
NeurologistCare is preparing to offer telehealth neurology consultations to patients throughout Florida. Florida appointments are not currently available.

Peripheral Nerve Symptoms We Plan to Evaluate
Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning feet, electrical pain, abnormal cold sensations, or weakness can arise from peripheral neuropathy, a compressed peripheral nerve, radiculopathy from an irritated nerve root, or another medical or neurological problem. A focused evaluation helps determine which pattern best fits the symptoms.
- Numbness, tingling, pins-and-needles, or reduced sensation
- Burning, electric, stabbing, or other nerve-like pain
- Feet that feel cold despite being warm to the touch
- Weakness, balance difficulty, or frequent stumbling
- Pain or tingling that travels from the neck into an arm or the back into a leg
How Neuropathy Is Evaluated
Evaluation reviews the distribution and timing of symptoms, medical history, medications, alcohol or toxin exposure, family history, and conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, vitamin deficiency, kidney disease, or autoimmune illness. The examination looks at sensation, strength, reflexes, balance, and whether symptoms follow a peripheral nerve or nerve-root pattern.
Telehealth may help with history, record review, and selected follow-up once Florida care begins. Some patients will need laboratory testing, imaging, an in-person neurological examination, or local EMG and nerve conduction testing. Not every person needs every test, and results must be interpreted with the clinical history.

Why do my feet feel cold even when they aren't?
False cold sensations from sensory nerves versus circulation problems.
What is an EMG?

Once Florida telehealth becomes available, NeurologistCare plans to see Medicare patients and patients with commercial insurance plans that include out-of-network (OON) benefits.
Eligibility, coverage, reimbursement, out-of-network benefits, and patient responsibility depend on the individual insurance plan. Coverage is not guaranteed, and Florida billing eligibility will be confirmed before appointments become available.
