Conditions Treated

The neurology service at this clinic manages:

  • Migraine and headache disorders
  • Epilepsy and seizure disorders
  • Neuropathy
  • Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders
  • Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders
  • Stroke and post-stroke care
  • Brain and spine injuries

Diagnostics

Neurophysiology is offered on site. These services evaluate conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles, and support diagnosis for seizure disorders, nerve damage, sleep disorders, and movement disorders.

Technology

The practice runs on Epic, used across CHRISTUS Health for both inpatient and outpatient documentation. Records follow the patient between the clinic and CHRISTUS hospital facilities in the region, so prior imaging, labs, and notes stay available in one chart.

Team-Based Care

You would work alongside Peimin Zhu, MD, who is board certified in neurology with subspecialty training in neurophysiology and epilepsy. His presence gives the practice an established referral base and a colleague for case discussion from the first day.

Advanced practice providers support the neurology service, and the physician is responsible for their clinical oversight. Gastroenterology, pain medicine, and podiatry practice in the same building, which shortens the path for patients whose symptoms cross specialty lines.

Building Your Practice

  • The service line opened in October 2024, so the panel is still growing
  • Referral volume across the Shreveport-Bossier region supports a second full schedule
  • Subspecialty interests can shape the practice as it develops
