Quick Answer
Booking at the Henderson office settles four things: what the problem is, whether your plan requires a referral, which office and whether you are flexible, and anything affecting the visit itself. Describing the symptom rather than requesting a clinician determines the appointment type and frequently the wait.

- Describe the symptom rather than requesting a named clinician, since the practice routes by clinical question.
- The referral question is settled on the call rather than discovered at check-in.
- The Henderson office is at 1691 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Suite 100, Henderson NV 89012.
- Saying you can attend either office is one of the few genuinely free ways to be seen sooner.
- Mention mobility needs, interpreter requirements, or that you are bringing someone.
Neurologist
A neurologist is a physician who diagnoses and manages disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Adult outpatient neurology covers evaluation, diagnostic testing and long-term management, and does not include surgery.
What happens on the booking call
Four things get settled, and knowing them means one call rather than three.
What the problem is
Describe the symptom rather than requesting a subspecialty or a named clinician. The practice routes by clinical question, so that description is what determines the appointment type and frequently the wait. Epilepsy and EEG interpretation go to the fellowship-trained epileptologist, nerve and muscle questions to the neuromuscular physicians, cerebrovascular questions to the medical director, multiple sclerosis continuity to the MS Certified Nurse, and general adult neurology to whoever can see you soonest.
Whether your plan needs a referral
Established on the call rather than discovered at check-in. Where one is required, the team tells you specifically what to ask your primary care office to send, which is usually more precise than patients expect.
Which office, and whether you are flexible
Both offices provide everything, so this is a commute question. Availability differs between them week to week, so saying you can attend either is one of the few genuinely free ways to be seen sooner. Both addresses are on the locations page.
Anything that affects the appointment itself
Mobility needs, so the visit can be arranged around them. Whether you need an interpreter. Whether you are bringing someone, which for a memory evaluation or a suspected seizure is close to essential rather than optional. And any prior records you are requesting, since those take weeks and are worth starting immediately.
| Also considered | How it is distinguished |
|---|---|
| Neurosurgeon | Operates; a neurologist diagnoses and manages without surgery, and refers when an operation is indicated. |
| Primary care | Manages common presentations and refers when specialist evaluation or in-office testing is needed. |
| Pain management | Focuses on interventional pain treatment rather than neurological diagnosis. |
| Neuropsychology | Provides detailed cognitive testing that complements a neurological evaluation. |
What to have ready, and what happens next
01
What brings people in
A referral, a symptom needing explanation, or a need for neurological testing that a primary care office cannot perform.
02
What the evaluation settles
Which neurological process explains the symptoms, which in-office studies are indicated, and who in the practice should see you.
03
What you leave with
A neurological assessment, any indicated testing performed and interpreted in-house, and a written plan you can act on.
Have these to hand
Your insurance card with the plan name rather than just the carrier, plus member and group numbers. A rough timeline of the symptom. Your medication list. And the name of any physician who has already been involved.
Before the appointment
Coverage, referral requirements and any prior authorisation are completed in advance. If a study is likely at the first visit, saying so on the call allows authorisation to be started early rather than becoming a second appointment.
At the appointment
Mostly a detailed history and a physical examination, which is the most diagnostically powerful part rather than a preamble. No scans on site and no needles unless a study is separately scheduled. Roughly half of first appointments end with a diagnosis and a plan and no testing at all. Preparation detail is on the new patient page.
The first 30, 60 and 90 days
Step 1
First visit
History and neurological examination, a review of records and prior imaging, and a decision on which studies are actually indicated. You leave with the plan, not just a referral.
Step 2
Within 30 days
Indicated in-office studies are performed and interpreted by the neurologist who ordered them, in our AANEM-accredited laboratories. Results are explained in plain language.
Step 3
60 to 90 days
Follow-up to judge whether the plan is working, adjust it, and coordinate with your referring clinician. Where a diagnosis needs time to confirm, this is where it is revisited.
Attending from Henderson
The Henderson office is at 1691 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Suite 100, just off the 215 Beltway, with parking on site. All six in-office studies are performed and interpreted there, so nothing is sent across to Las Vegas. Green Valley, Anthem, Whitney and Boulder City are generally closer to it than to Flamingo Road. Adults 18 and older.
Ready to book?
Describe the symptom, have your plan name to hand, and say if you can attend either office.
The Bottom Line
Describe the symptom, settle the referral question, say if you are flexible on office, and mention anything affecting the visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens on the booking call?
Four things get settled: what the problem is, whether your plan needs a referral, which office and whether you are flexible, and anything affecting the appointment itself such as mobility needs or an interpreter. Having your insurance card and any referral details to hand makes it a single call rather than two.
Where is the Henderson office?
1691 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Suite 100, Henderson NV 89012, just off the 215 Beltway, with all six in-office studies performed there and its own electrodiagnostic accreditation. The Las Vegas office is at Sunrise Medical Plaza on West Flamingo Road, and both locations carry the same equipment and the same records. Parking is on site at both.
Should I ask for a specific neurologist?
Usually not. Describe the symptom instead, since the practice routes by clinical question and that is faster. Requesting subspecialty depth the question does not need can add weeks. Where the question genuinely needs subspecialty depth, the routing finds it anyway without you having to ask. Subspecialty slots are the thinnest part of the schedule.
What should I have ready?
Your insurance card with the plan name rather than just the carrier, plus member and group numbers, a rough symptom timeline, your medication list, and the name of any physician already involved. Having all of it to hand turns it into a single call rather than two. The plan name matters more than the carrier name.
Should I mention mobility needs?
Yes. Freezing of gait, fatigue, active vertigo or light sensitivity all make a long walk from a parking space difficult, and a patient who arrives exhausted examines worse than they are. Say it at booking rather than on arrival, and the appointment can be arranged around it. Parking is on site at both offices.
Where exactly is the Henderson office?
1691 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Suite 100, Henderson NV 89012, just off the 215 Beltway, with parking on site. All six in-office studies are performed and interpreted there, so nothing is referred across to the Las Vegas office. Green Valley, Anthem, Whitney and Boulder City are generally closer to it than to West Flamingo Road.
Should I use the Henderson or the Las Vegas office?
Whichever is the shorter drive, since both are fully equipped and hold the same records. West Horizon Ridge Parkway generally suits Green Valley, Anthem and Boulder City; West Flamingo Road suits the west and southwest of the valley. If you can attend either, say so when booking, because availability differs between the two week to week.
What is the single most useful thing I can do before attending?
Write a dated timeline of when symptoms began and how they changed, and assemble your medication list with doses including anything bought without a prescription. Request prior imaging and test reports now rather than later, because those requests take weeks. A first appointment that reaches a conclusion beats two that do not.
How does the practice decide who I see?
By clinical question rather than by request. Describing the symptom lets the soonest appropriate clinician be offered, whereas asking for a named subspecialist when a general appointment would answer the question is the commonest self-inflicted delay. Where subspecialty depth is genuinely needed, the routing finds it without you asking. Subspecialty slots are the thinnest part of the schedule.
What should I do if my symptoms change before the appointment?
Call rather than wait, because the appointment can be brought forward or redirected. If symptoms become sudden or focal, that is no longer a scheduling question: sudden facial droop, one-sided weakness, difficulty speaking, vision loss, a headache peaking within seconds or a seizure over five minutes means calling 911. Do not drive yourself in that situation.
How this page was sourced
Practice facts come from Clinical Neurology Specialists directly: two offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, nine clinicians, six in-office diagnostic studies, independently accredited electrodiagnostic laboratories, and adults 18 and older only.
THIS PAGE DOES NOT PROMISE AN APPOINTMENT WITHIN ANY STATED TIMEFRAME, and that is deliberate. Availability varies week to week and by clinician, and Clark County has thin specialist supply relative to population. A published timeframe would be unverifiable and would contradict the accurate account of specialist availability given elsewhere on this site. The page explains what actually affects a wait and what shortens it instead. No cost or coverage outcome is quoted. Scope is adults 18 and older.
