I look forward to many years serving the community and to helping as many people live extraordinary lives as possible, through healthy lifestyles, environmental awareness, community activities, and the best neurological care possible!”

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists are licensed medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles of patients. They examine a patient’s mental and physical status, conduct medical tests and scans, and evaluate the results to diagnose and treat the patient.

Beyond caring for patients, Dr. Pauzauskie enjoys reading and writing fiction, playing the piano and composition, fishing, golfing, and following college basketball. Alongside these pursuits, he has a keen interest in family history and genealogy, along with a commitment to public health initiatives.
