At Optimum Neurology, we want our patients to live their most complete lives.

Neurological conditions can be disabling. From physical symptoms like tremors or weakness to cognitive symptoms like memory loss and fatigue, patients come to Optimum with a wide range of complaints.

David S. Tabby, D.O., with the help of Ashley Cohen, R.N., B.S.N., provides patients with the care they need to stabilize their disease or find a new, healthier treatment. We take pride in offering the most modern and up to date treatments as we approach each patient’s condition and symptoms with a whole-patient approach. Many neurological conditions can be triggered or worsened by lifestyle factors; we help our patients understand what daily living items can be adjusted to improve their functioning.
