Dr. Marina Andris M.D. graduated from a State Medical University in Russia and studied for two years at the University in the USA, to receive an ECFMG certification.
She qualified as a doctor with honors in 1996 and as a neurologist in 2009 in Germany. Dr. Marina Andris has worked 10 years at the Department of Neurology at the Rhein-Mosel-Klinik in Andernach. She has kept her neurological practice up to date, attending related conferences, lectures and clinical meetings throughout the year. She has a broad experience in the diagnosis and treatment, including Botulinum Toxin therapy for nervous system disorders. All required modern diagnostic tests are available at her clinic, and there is a close cooperation with radiologists/neuroradiologists performing brain and spinal scans (MRI, CT) on demand.
Every neurologist trained in Germany has undergone a long and rigorous practice period. This fact is critical since the neurological field is vast, covering many aspects of human conditions, some common, some very rare and complex. A neurologist must keep up to date in every part of practice; our knowledge of neurological disease is advancing rapidly.
The following are symptoms that you may have experienced. A neurologist is the specialist who is called upon to assess these symptoms, although some are also assessed by other specialities.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, unsteadiness, disequilibrium, giddiness, vertigo
Blackouts, faints, funny turns, fits, seizures, convulsions
Headaches, migraine, neuralgia
Weakness, paralysis, muscle wasting
