Dr. Ng is a pediatric epileptologist and neuromuscular neurologist and an academic clinician-educator specializing in clinical neurophysiology and electrodiagnostic medicine. Her path to child neurology has been distinctly non-linear. Before pursuing subspecialty training, she practiced general pediatrics for a decade—an experience that profoundly shaped her clinical perspective and strengthened her commitment to caring for children with complex neurologic disorders amid a national shortage of child neurologists.

Dr. Ng provides subspecialty care through the NAEC Level 4 Pediatric Epilepsy Center, Pediatric MDA/Neuromuscular Clinic, and Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury Clinic. She serves as Medical Director of the AANEM-accredited Electrodiagnostic Laboratory and Co-Director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Care (MDA) Center at Connecticut Children’s. She is also a clinical trial investigator at the Connecticut Children’s Research Institute.

Dr. Ng provides care for patients with general child neurology conditions, with clinical focuses on pediatric seizure disorders, drug-resistant epilepsy, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), clinical neurophysiology (electroencephalography/EEG), pediatric neuromuscular diseases, peripheral neuropathies and brachial plexopathies, neuromuscular ultrasound, and electrodiagnostic medicine (electromyography/EMG and nerve conduction studies/NCS). Telemedicine appointments are also available for appropriate patients and conditions.

That doctor does not let her speak, she does not listen to the patient or parent and then exerts pressure to say that she is fine and that then the patient does want to see her again

Dr. Ng was amazing. She spent a lot of time explaining things to us and answering questions we had. When my son was not cooperative during our first call, she said not to worry and she'd call back later. I appreciated the flexibility and opportunity to talk with her again.

Dr. Ng is by far the most knowledgeable, thorough and concerned neurologist we've had to tackle my complex child.
September 9, 2025
She didnt really listen to me to be honest. I felt she made her decision about my kid assuming anxiety but not knowing her yet. She did a great thorough physical assessment and to take her time and did a nice job talking to my child not just to me, but it seemed biased in her treatment recommendations, which was only to attend something that your same company does. I would have liked some more recommendations, which I will still call for.
