About Us
Private Neurology Consultations
Riddiford Neurology offers timely routine and urgent consultations with our Wellington Neurologists. Based at Riddiford Medical Specialist Centre, in Newtown, working as a group practice, we aim to minimise the waiting time for your consultation.
An appointment with one of our Neurologists will be made after a referral from your GP or other specialist.
Assessment, investigations and treatment recommendations are provided. Long term follow up of chronic Neurologic conditions is available.
Neurophysiology testing
These specialist tests include nerve conduction studies and electromyography. They can help diagnose conditions affecting the nerves and muscles.
This neurologic investigation may be requested directly by your GP, other specialist, but most commonly following a Neurologists' assessment.
