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

What to Expect at Your First Visit

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

You leave with a clear next step, medications if needed, and a realistic follow-up plan that can include telemedicine.
