Los Angeles Telehealth Neurology: Expert Care From Your Home
In today's fast-paced Los Angeles lifestyle, access to quality healthcare without the stress of traffic and crowded waiting rooms is invaluable. At Achilles Neurology Clinic, our telehealth neurology services bring expert neurological care directly to your home or office anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area. Our virtual neurology consultations offer the same comprehensive care and personalized attention as our in-person visits, just without the commute.
What is Telehealth Neurology?
Telehealth neurology (also called teleneurology) is a modern approach to neurological care that uses secure video conferencing technology to connect you with our board-certified neurologist. This service allows Los Angeles residents to receive specialized neurological evaluations, follow-up care, and ongoing management of various conditions without traveling to our Beverly Hills office.
The Los Angeles Advantage
Los Angeles patients save an average of 3 hours per appointment by choosing telehealth options – eliminating travel time, parking struggles, and waiting room delays while receiving the same quality specialized care.

In-Person Care When Needed

Rest assured, if an in-person visit becomes necessary, we'll seamlessly coordinate your care at our Beverly Hills office, ensuring continuity and comprehensive treatment.

Important Information for Los Angeles Patients
As mentioned above, while telehealth is effective for many neurological conditions, certain symptoms and situations may require an in-person visit at our Beverly Hills office.
