Leslie J. Higuita
3480 Wake Forest Rd, 
Raleigh, NC 

Overview

I am a neurologist specializing in diagnosing and treating disorders of the peripheral nerves, muscles, and neuromuscular junction (where the muscle and nerve communicate), such as myasthenia gravis, myopathies, motor neuron disease, peripheral neuropathies, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. I perform procedures like nerve conduction studies and EMGs to aid in diagnosis. I also see patients with other neurologic conditions, including headaches and epilepsy. I strive to provide excellent, evidence-based care and encourage a team approach where patients actively participate in their care and decision-making. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, hiking, and traveling.
