Services | Neurology/Neurosurgery

The neurology service at Seattle Veterinary Specialists led by Sean Sanders, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVIM (Neurology) is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the brain, spine, peripheral nerves and muscles. Common conditions that are treated include seizures, intervertebral disk disease, spine and brain tumors.  A neurological exam combined with a thorough history is often enough to tell the Neurology team what part of the nervous system to look at.  Advanced imaging techniques like MRI allow the clinician to “see” the brain and spine.  Treatments such as anticonvulsant therapy, decompressive spinal surgery and tumor excision are routine procedures to the neurology group.  Dr. Sanders and his team are strong believers in making sure that his clients are aware of all the options available for any condition and will work hard to explain the disease and the benefits of the various therapies.  The Neurology Service believes that the healing process only begins with surgery.  A combination of excellent patient care, comfort and physical rehabilitation is also necessary to ensure that their patients have the best possible outcome.
