Due to its geographic location, the Division of Pediatric Neurology has evolved into a service capable of managing virtually any type of neurologic disorder in children with a high degree of skill and expertise. Consultation and care for inpatients is provided by members of the Division at the Children’s Hospital of Alabama, the Regional NICU at University Hospital, and occasionally for pediatric patients who may be hospitalized in another unit within University Hospital. Outpatient care occurs in two locations, the Children’s Hospital of Alabama and the Children’s South outpatient facility. Dr. Mathisen, Dr. Hammond, and Dr. Hopper are located at Children’s South.
All clinical faculty are engaged in general neurology patient care, with the exception of Drs. Mohamed, Kankirawatana, Lalor, Barkan, and Goyal who only see epilepsy patients. Below are additional subspecialty clinics in which we collaborate.
