Neuro health FAQs

Unlike large hospital systems, you work directly with Dr. Souayah — not assistants or trainees. His expertise, international reputation, and leadership in neurology research ensure exclusivity, precision, and world-class expertise from start to finish.

No referral is required. You can schedule directly, and our team can help you securely gather and upload your records. Whether you are self-referred, referred by a physician, or an international patient, the process is the same.

The more complete the data, the better the review. Important records include:

• EMG/NCS reports and tracings
• MRI/CT reports and images
• Bloodwork, biomarkers, and antibody panels
• CSF (spinal fluid) analysis
• Biopsy and pathology reports
• Genetic testing results
• Prior neurology or hospital notes

Most consultations are scheduled within days, and a definitive written report is usually delivered within one week.

Yes. Premier Neuro Health uses encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platforms. Only Dr. Souayah accesses your records, and full confidentiality is guaranteed for VIP and international clients.

He provides second opinions for a wide range of conditions, including:

• ALS, PLS, PMA

• Myasthenia gravis
• Muscular dystrophies
• Inflammatory myopathies (polymyositis, dermatomyositis, IBM)
• Hereditary and diabetic neuropathies
• Radiculopathy and spinal stenosis
• Statin/toxic myopathies
• Autoimmune and paraneoplastic syndromes
• Post-COVID or vaccine-related complications
• Any unexplained or overlapping neurological disorder

This is common. Dr. Souayah provides a revised diagnosis with an authoritative written report and clear next steps for treatment, further testing, or referral.

Yes. He often advises before spine surgery, muscle or nerve biopsies, or starting long-term immunotherapies (e.g., IVIG, biologics). His balanced review of risks, benefits, and alternatives helps patients make informed decisions.

A disorder is considered complex when symptoms overlap across specialties or when test results are inconclusive. Examples include post-COVID syndromes, autoimmune encephalitis, vaccine-related complications, and paraneoplastic syndromes. These require the type of integrated review Dr. Souayah provides.

Overlap syndromes are common. Dr. Souayah re-analyzes MRI, EMG, antibody panels, and biomarkers to identify a unifying or corrected diagnosis.

Rarely, vaccines may trigger conditions like GBS, myasthenia, or neuropathies. Dr. Souayah is a world authority in vaccine-related neurology. His second opinions confirm or rule out causation, guide treatment, and support medico-legal or insurance cases.

Yes. They can cause neuropathy, seizures, or cognitive issues. Dr. Souayah distinguishes between systemic autoimmune effects and primary neurological disease, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Yes. Infections such as HIV, Lyme, hepatitis, COVID-19, and viral encephalitis can cause chronic complications. Dr. Souayah differentiates infection-related injury from autoimmune or degenerative causes.

Many do. Dr. Souayah separates neurological disease from psychiatric or functional disorders, ensuring correct treatment without stigma.

Neurowellness is proactive and integrated, focusing on preserving function, reducing risks, and optimizing performance using biomarkers, electrodiagnostics, and personalized rehabilitation — rather than just reacting to flares.

Patients with neuromuscular disorders (ALS, CIDP/GBS, MG, myopathies, dystrophies, neuropathies, post-COVID weakness) as well as health people and athletes or high-performers seeking to prevent injuries, detect silent risks, or optimize neuromuscular performance.

A personalized, written roadmap from Dr. Souayah outlining baselines, risks, and a phased wellness plan. It includes performance or recovery guidance, medication/supplement review, and follow-up timing, and can be shared with your local team if you choose.

No. Many healthy clients seek a proactive neuromuscular screen to identify silent risks (entrapments, early radiculopathy, medication effects) and protect long-term performance.

While not all diseases can be halted, targeted interventions often reduce complications, preserve independence, and extend high-quality daily function.
