Neurologist Serving Deer Park, TX
Neurologist Serving Deer Park, TX
Expert Adult & Pediatric Neurology Care
Board-certified and fellowship-trained neurology care just a short drive from Deer Park. We treat children and adults under one roof, with in-office EEG and shorter wait times than larger hospital systems.
A closer option for Deer Park families who need real neurology care
Deer Park sits right next to Pasadena. Our clinic at 3301 Plainview St, Suite 8 is usually only 5 to 12 minutes away depending on where you live. That short drive means you can get board-certified adult and pediatric neurology care without fighting Medical Center traffic or waiting months for an opening.
Family Neurology treats both children and adults in the same practice. This matters when a child with seizures grows into a teenager, or when a parent begins having memory changes or Parkinson’s symptoms. You stay with doctors who already know your family’s history instead of starting over somewhere else.
Both physicians trained at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Mbanga completed her epilepsy fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital. The training level matches what you would find at large Houston systems, but the experience is different: longer appointments, shorter waits, and a team that actually gets to know you.
Why Deer Park Families Choose Family Neurology
Many families from Deer Park still travel farther than necessary for specialty care. We give you high-level neurology that is close, accessible, and focused on the whole family.
Same-Practice Care for the Whole Family
From a child’s first seizure evaluation to an adult’s Parkinson’s or memory care, one practice grows with your family. No need to change doctors as needs change over time.
In-Office EEG Testing
Routine EEGs are done right here in the office and interpreted by our fellowship-trained epileptologist. You avoid the long wait that comes with outside labs.
Board-Certified Specialists
Both doctors trained at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Mbanga completed her epilepsy fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital. You get academic-level care in a private practice setting.
Telemedicine Follow-Ups
Once the treatment plan is set, many patients complete routine follow-ups by telemedicine. This saves time for working parents and older adults in Deer Park.
Private-Practice Feel
Appointments are longer, scheduling is simpler, and the team gets to know your family. You are not just another number in a large system.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Before Your Visit
We collect previous records and test results ahead of time so the doctor already has the full picture when you walk in.
Initial Consultation
A detailed history and neurological exam usually lasts 45 to 60 minutes. There is time to discuss the full story, especially for children or complex symptoms.
In-Office Testing
If an EEG is needed, it can often be scheduled the same day or shortly after. This avoids making a second trip from Deer Park.
Treatment Plan
You leave with a clear next step, medications if needed, and a realistic follow-up plan that can include telemedicine.

How far is the office from Deer Park?
Most Deer Park addresses are only 5 to 12 minutes away. The clinic is at 3301 Plainview St, Suite 8 in Pasadena. Parking is free and right at the building.
Do you treat both children and adults?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons families from Deer Park come here. The same doctors can care for a child with epilepsy and later for an adult family member with Parkinson’s or memory concerns.
Is EEG available in the office?
Yes. Routine EEGs are performed here and read by Dr. Mbanga, who is fellowship-trained in epilepsy. This usually means faster results than sending the test to an outside laboratory.
Do I need a referral?
It depends on your insurance plan. Call us at 713-589-7020 and we will check the requirements for you before the appointment.
Can follow-ups be done by telemedicine?
Yes. After the initial evaluation and treatment plan are complete, many patients do routine follow-ups by telemedicine. This is especially helpful for working parents in Deer Park.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, list of current medications, and any previous test results or imaging. For children, a short note about developmental milestones is also helpful.
