Biography

Dr. Jean-Raphael Schneider is a Board-Certified Neurologist with additional fellowship training in Neuroimaging and Neurophysiology. His main areas of interest are Multiple Sclerosis and neuromuscular conditions such as polyneuropathies (e.g. Diabetic neuropathy, CIDP), carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, cervical and lumbar radiculopathies, and muscle diseases (e.g. Myasthenia Gravis and ALS). Dr. Schneider uses his specialty training in neuroimaging in the diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Sclerosis with MRI. His expertise in interpreting MRIs is also very helpful in evaluating nerve impingements in the spine. Dr. Schneider enjoys reviewing imaging studies with his patients to help them understand their diagnosis and treatment. “I truly love what I do. Every day I meet amazing people, and I feel privileged to be able to listen to their problems and try to help them out.”

I have been to a few neurologists in the area and this is the best. I've seen both Dr. Schneider and ARNP Dawn Rush-Wilde. They never make me feel rushed and always listen to my concerns. The office staff is also helpful and nice. I know that several staff members are bilingual, but speak English very clearly. If you're looking for a neurologist, I highly recommend this office.

I saw Dr Sivakolundu for the first time yesterday and he did more for me in one appointment then my previous neuro did in 6 months. I feel blessed to have found him and totally trust my care in his hands.
