My mom will be getting a neurological eval soon. What can we expect about the procedure?

Will I be able to be present with her?

From reading these posts I see that people have had different experiences with their neurologist testing. So in my case when I took my aunt I was present for her exams which were fairly simple and didn’t take very long. A series of questions from the doctor and observations of her gait and assessment of her strength were done.
Others have indicated long series of paper and pencil tests. I suspect this has something to do with the age of the patient and how they present to the doctor.
My aunt also had an MRI on a different visit. If I were you, I would call the doctors office and ask about their procedure. Then you will know what to expect.
