“I was drawn to USA Health because of the opportunity to be part of a strong, vibrant and growing academic neurology department,” he said. “I am looking forward to mentoring neurology residents, learning from my subspecialist colleagues who are experts in their fields, teaching medical students and continuing to serve our community.”
As a general neurologist, Hewitt evaluates and treats patients among the broad spectrum of neurological diseases. His focus is on the initial evaluation and management of people with neurological symptoms but no specific diagnosis. He also helps patients who have multiple neurological problems manage their symptoms.
“I am best able to determine when a patient needs the expertise of a neurological subspecialist and what type of subspecialist would be most appropriate,” he said.
Hewitt is originally from New Orleans and has been practicing neurology in the Mobile community for 16 years. He received his medical degree from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in Jackson. At Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, he completed an internal medicine internship, neurology residency and clinical neurophysiology fellowship.
He is board certified in neurology and clinical neurophysiology by The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
