About

Olympia Neurology is comprised of seven board-certified neurologists – Gregory Bell, Leo Kesting, Jon Kooiker, Zhongzeng Li, James McDowell, Irina Ramneantu, and Maureen Callaghan – who provide a comprehensive range of services related to the treatment of stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, spine issues, headaches, and other neurologic disorders.

Doctors Kesting, McDowell, Bell, and Kooiker founded the practice in 2001. Dr. Li joined in 2006 and Dr. Ramneantu and Dr. Callaghan in 2009.

In June 2009, Olympia Neurology opened Brain & Spine Imaging Center, a state-of-the-art facility that specializes in neurologic MR scans and interpretations. Brain & Spine Imaging Center is one of only a handful of imaging facilities in the United States that utilizes SIENA software, a cutting-edge technology that assesses brain atrophy in patients with multiple sclerosis.
