Neurology at Snoqualmie Valley Health

Our Neurology Department is dedicated to supporting one of the most vital components in the human body—the nervous system. The nervous system is the ultimate central command, guiding everything from memory and movement to thought and sensation. It works around the clock to keep us functioning at our fullest capacity. When the nervous system is disrupted, the effects ripple through every aspect of daily life. That’s why caring for it isn’t just important, it’s essential to maintaining independence and well-being

Our neurology team specializes in diagnosing and treating full spectrum of conditions that affect the brain and nervous system. Whether you’re experiencing memory changes, movement challenges, headaches, or seizure activities, we’re here to help. What makes our approach different is that we never lose sight of the person behind the symptoms. Every patient’s journey is unique, and so is our care. We take time to listen, understand, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs—because neurological health isn’t just about managing conditions, it’s about improving quality of life.

At Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, you’ll find advanced expertise in a welcoming community setting. From the first consultation to ongoing support, our team is here to guide you with knowledge, empathy, and hope. Together, we’ll help you move forward with confidence, restoring not only function but also peace of mind. With care rooted in the latest evidence-based medicine and delivered with compassion and individualized plans, our goal is simple: you can live boldly and live well.
