Whether your child is facing a common problem or a rare condition, our team can provide treatments based on new research.
Our team includes renowned specialists, skilled nurses and advanced practitioners working together with you and your child.
Our pediatric neurologists see patients in several locations in the Baltimore City and the metro area. If your child needs a hospital stay or rehabilitation, we have specialized facilities that provide these services:
The Children’s Center provides a comfortable, healing environment for children and families. Our team of child life specialists designs programs and activities to help you and your child understand and prepare for treatments and procedures.
Our pediatric neurologists partner with the Kennedy Krieger Institute, which offers innovative programs such as aquatic therapy and adaptive sports, as well as state-of-the-art rehabilitation therapies and technologies for children with neurologic disorders.
Part of the appointment scheduling process is to make sure we participate in patient’s insurance plan. Johns Hopkins participates with most PPO plans. If the patient’s insurance plan is an HMO, the patient will likely need to obtain a referral from a primary care physician. If we are unsure of participation in the insurance plan, we may ask you to fax the front and back of the insurance card to 410-614-2297.
Before an appointment, you will receive an appointment packet including a questionnaire and directions. Please return the filled questionnaire the day of the appointment.
Before your visit, please make sure that all medical records, test results and referrals have been sent to us. We need to have the referral on file at least seven days before the appointment. If you or your primary care doctor plan to fax these documents to our office, please fax to 410-614-2297:

Most of our procedures do not require much preparation. If your visit requires an MRI with anesthesia, a sedation screening sheet will need to be completed by the doctor ordering the test. The parents of the patient will receive guidelines for the anesthesia. We ask that parents bring a list of all medications and clear fluids for the patient after the procedure as well as a stroller or wheelchair for small children.
If a referral or insurance authorization is required for a procedure, please send the required documents to 410-614-2297 ahead of the appointment.
