Services
Electroencephalography (EEG)
EEG testing measures brain electrical activity to diagnose epilepsy, dementia, and sleep disorders. Electrodes placed on the scalp record brain waves during rest and stimulation activities. This non-invasive procedure helps identify abnormal patterns that may indicate neurological conditions, providing critical data for developing effective treatment plans while ensuring patient comfort throughout the 1-2 hour exam.
BOTOX Injections
Therapeutic BOTOX injections treat muscle spasms and chronic migraines by blocking nerve signals. Administered directly into affected muscles without anesthesia, this treatment reduces pain and improves mobility. Patients typically see results within 2-6 weeks, with effects lasting up to six months. Our neurologists carefully determine injection sites to maximize effectiveness while minimizing potential side effects like temporary bruising or eyelid drooping.
Deep Brain Stimulator
Deep brain stimulation surgery treats advanced Parkinson's disease symptoms through implanted neurostimulators. Electrodes placed in specific brain regions deliver electrical impulses that regulate abnormal brain activity. This procedure reduces tremors and motor symptoms while potentially decreasing medication requirements. Our specialists manage device programming and maintenance to optimize long-term symptom control for patients who don't respond to conventional therapies.
Electromyography (EMG)
EMG testing evaluates muscle and nerve health to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and peripheral neuropathy. Thin needles inserted into muscles measure electrical activity during contraction and rest. Combined with nerve conduction studies, this diagnostic tool helps identify neuromuscular disorders by analyzing signal transmission between nerves and muscles, guiding targeted treatment strategies for patients experiencing weakness or numbness.
Vagal Nerve Stimulator
Vagal nerve stimulation provides long-term epilepsy treatment through implanted pulse generators. The device sends regular electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, reducing seizure frequency and severity. While not performing implantation, our neurologists manage device programming and adjustments during office visits. This therapy offers an effective alternative for patients whose seizures remain uncontrolled by medication alone.

Steer clear of this office. Dr Aubrechtova doesn't have a clue about Vagus nerve issues howeverits on their website. The doctor sat there in silence and couldn't answer my questions. All she could say was I don't know! She played with the computer and stated she was going to look something up pretending to anyway. How unprofessional! Don't waste your time making an appointment with this place, very loud doctors I heard every conversation through the walls. I overhead a doctor telling a new patient you took a step down coming to see me. Wow! The vibe in this office is totally off. Stay away.

Dr. Werchan is a truly awful practitioner. Not only does he provide completely useless recommendations, he insults you, talks down to you, and demeans you to your face as if you were a child, rather than a patient suffering from ailments that he could care less about. Avoid at all costs.

My experience: "Dr" Werchan was arrogant, condescending, patronizing, accusatory, disorganized, argumentative.and I could go on. I chose this "Dr" from a list of 20 specialists, waited nearly 2.5 months to see him, and drove 1hr to my appointment just to be treated with a complete lack of compassion, dignity, respect or professionalism. It gets better. After my fiance and I had had enough and decided to leave, he then announced across the waiting for his front office staff to call the police as we were walking out. Seriously?
He obviously felt we were going to file a complaint against him, so this was his attempt to discredit us. I have NEVER experienced this type of behavior from a healthcare provider. Unbelievable. This guy should have his licensed revoked. Terrible human being.

Dr Werchan has horrible bedside manner and I would absolutely not recommend him! He doesn't listen well, interrupts, and is impolite. He spoke to us like we were idiots and did not have the intellect to understand the situation. My mom and I both have backgrounds in the medical field, which he was unaware of, and we are quite capable of understanding this type of information. We were both deeply offended by him! His lack of empathy for our situation was also atrocious!

Negligent care. Dr. Aubrechtova simply does not answer my calls or return voicemails: I can't renew a necessary prescription, I can't start a new medication with a Primary Care Physician (PCP) because the PCP needs a my neuro to sign off (and they will not answer my PCP either). Extremely frustrating and a barrier to care.

Doctor Werchan is really helpful and attentive. Gave us all of his time and attention and gave us multiple options to treat my mother's pain. Coming back to say I don't know how I feel about Dr. Werchan. When telling my mom bad news, his bedside manner was awful. He kept referring to the surgeon as the plumber and didn't really answer her questions. He treated surgery as if it wasn't a big deal and was very careless about my moms feelings.
