Our Legacy of Excellence Since 1960

Coastal Neurological Institute was founded in 1960 by Dr. Robert H. Mudd under the original name Neurosurgery PA. While our name and team have evolved over the years, our commitment to delivering outstanding patient care has remained steadfast.

Our mission is to offer the highest quality in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of conditions affecting the brain, neuromuscular, and skeletal systems.
