The Rush Clinical Neurophysiology fellowship gave him specialized training in neurodiagnostic testing for seizures and neuromuscular disorders, adding a layer of subspecialty depth beyond standard neurology training.

Yes. Dr. Savage is board-certified by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry. He also holds a fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology from Rush University Medical Center, a Master of Arts from Medical College of Wisconsin, and is a member of the American Academy of Neurology and the National Headache Foundation.

Dr. Savage is a specialty-trained neurologist with a focused subspecialty in clinical neurophysiology and neurodiagnostic testing. His clinical expertise covers vertigo and dizziness, sensory loss, weakness, memory loss, headache, movement disorders, seizures, and neurodegenerative diseases. His fellowship training gives him particular depth in electrodiagnostic testing for seizures and neuromuscular disorders, including EMG and nerve conduction studies, EEG interpretation, and other specialized neurodiagnostic evaluations. This combination of broad neurology care and neurodiagnostic subspecialty makes him a distinctive resource for patients with complex or difficult-to-diagnose neurological conditions.

Dr. Savage believes that disorders of the nervous system can affect every aspect of a person's life, and he approaches each patient encounter with that understanding. He is passionate about finding a root cause for the symptoms his patients are experiencing, not just managing them, and about helping each person understand what their diagnosis means for their life going forward. Patients describe him as extremely kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent listener who treats every patient as his top priority, explains things clearly without overwhelming jargon, and consistently takes extra time to make sure patients feel heard and informed.

Dr. Savage treats a broad range of neurological conditions including vertigo and dizziness, sensory loss, weakness, memory loss, headache and migraine, movement disorders, seizure disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. His Clinical Neurophysiology fellowship training gives him additional depth in diagnosing and managing conditions that require specialized neurodiagnostic testing, including epilepsy and neuromuscular disorders such as peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, and neuromuscular junction disorders. For patients who have struggled to get a clear diagnosis elsewhere, Dr. Savage's combination of broad neurology expertise and subspecialty diagnostic training makes him well-suited to work through complex or atypical presentations.

Dr. Savage provides comprehensive neurological evaluation and management across his areas of specialty, with particular depth in neurodiagnostic testing. He performs and interprets EMG and nerve conduction studies, EEG testing, and other specialized neurodiagnostic evaluations for patients with seizure disorders and neuromuscular conditions. Beyond diagnostics, he manages ongoing treatment for conditions including headache and migraine, movement disorders, vertigo, memory disorders, and neurodegenerative disease. As part of Neuroscience Group's integrated team, he works alongside the broader neurology, neurosurgery, physical therapy, and rehabilitation providers to ensure patients have access to coordinated, comprehensive care across all their neurological needs.

Dr. Savage sees patients at four Neuroscience Group locations: Appleton, Appleton OSP, Neenah, and Waupaca. His presence across both primary Fox Valley locations and the Waupaca community location extends Neuroscience Group's neurological care to patients in the Waupaca County area who would otherwise face a significant drive for specialist care. The Neenah main clinic offers on-site MRI, imaging, neurodiagnostic labs, and procedure labs, and Neuroscience Group's full neurodiagnostic capabilities support the specialized testing Dr. Savage's subspecialty training covers.

To request an appointment with Dr. Savage, use the online appointment request form on his provider page at neurosciencegroup.com or call Neuroscience Group at (920) 725-9373. A scheduling team member will coordinate your appointment at the Appleton, Neenah, or Waupaca location, whichever is most convenient for you. Before your visit, you will be asked to complete registration and medical history paperwork. If you are being seen for a complex or previously undiagnosed neurological condition, bringing a full history of prior testing, imaging, and treatments will help Dr. Savage provide the most thorough evaluation at your first appointment.

At your first appointment, Dr. Savage will conduct a thorough neurological history and examination, with particular attention to the full picture of your symptoms, their onset, and how they affect your daily functioning. For patients with complex or difficult-to-diagnose conditions, he will take the time to work through the differential carefully before recommending next steps, which may include specialized neurodiagnostic testing such as EMG, nerve conduction studies, or EEG. He is known for explaining findings and recommendations in clear, accessible language, spending genuine time with each patient, and ensuring no question goes unanswered before you leave. Neuroscience Group's Neenah clinic has on-site neurodiagnostic labs, so testing can often be scheduled in the same location without requiring visits to separate facilities.
