Dr. Liang is a general pediatric neurologist offering care for children with various neurologic conditions such as epilepsy (seizures), developmental delay, headache, concussion, neuromuscular disorders, and genetic conditions. She has a special clinical interest in neonatal neurology. Dr. Liang sees children as an inpatient in the hospital, as well as outpatient in the clinic.
