Providing Comprehensive Neurologic Care
The nervous system is an elegant but sometimes confusing part of the body and its afflictions can cause great suffering. Understanding that is essential to caring for neurologic patients. We are astute investigators who find neurology fascinating while maintaining our compassion for our patients.
We appreciate the trust patients place in our care. We take this responsibility very seriously and realize we are part of an exceptional team that is dedicated to achieving the best outcome for each patient.
Neurology Associates has grown!!
In January 2026 we welcomed 4 new colleagues -- Dr. Pardee, Dr. Rymanowski, Kristen Resetar, NP and Chelsea Hawks Rodenhouse, NP -- all formerly of Ontario Neurology Associates. We are extremely excited they have joined, and expect that together we will be able to provide even better neurological care to our community!
