Frequently Asked Questions
What neurological conditions does Viva Medical Center treat in Doral, FL?
Our neurology services address a wide range of conditions including migraines and chronic headaches, dizziness and vertigo, memory concerns, neuropathy, sleep disorders, and neurological manifestations of chronic disease. We work closely with specialist neurologists for complex cases requiring advanced diagnostics or procedures.
Do I need a referral to see a neurologist near Miami-Dade?
For PPO insurance plans, you can typically schedule directly without a referral. HMO plan holders will generally need a PCP referral. Our physicians at Viva Medical Center can provide the referral if needed, keeping your care coordinated under one roof.
Can a primary care doctor treat chronic migraines?
Yes. Many migraine patients are effectively managed by a board-certified primary care or internal medicine physician. We evaluate migraine frequency, triggers, and severity, and create individualized treatment plans including preventive medications, acute rescue therapy, and lifestyle modifications. We refer to neurology specialists when advanced imaging or specialized intervention is needed.
What is the difference between a headache and a migraine?
Migraines are a neurological condition characterized by moderate to severe throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, and may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. They can last 4–72 hours and significantly impair function. Tension headaches are more diffuse and less severe. An accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
Do you treat dizziness and vertigo in Doral, FL?
Yes. We evaluate and manage dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. Common causes include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and inner ear disorders. We perform diagnostic assessments and refer to ENT or neurology specialists when indicated.
