Fort Collins-based medical clinic Neurology Associates of Northern Colorado recently expanded its services to Loveland.

"We are pleased to be part of the Loveland community and look forward to serving a growing number of patients in northern Colorado in a way that is more convenient to them," said Dr. Gerald McIntosh, Neurology Associates of Northern Colorado founding physician.

The clinic recently hired two neurologists to expand their team, Dr. Scott Strader and Dr. Lawrence A. Meredith.

Dr. Strader will practice at the Fort Collins location (1106 E. Prospect), joining Dr. Gerald McIntosh and Dr. Paramijt Kaur.

Dr. Meredith will join Dr. Sheri Friedman at the new Loveland location located at Medical Center of the Rockies' north medical office building (2500 Rocky Mountain Ave., Suite 2200).

Dr. Strader received his medical degree, was a resident and completed a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology at the University of Iowa.

A long-time resident of Loveland, Dr. Meredith owned and operated Neurology Center of the Rockies on E. 5th Street prior to joining Poudre Valley Medical Group's Neurology Associates of Northern Colorado.

Neurology Associates of Northern Colorado was established to provide diagnoses, treatment and management of nervous system disorders, injuries and disease. The clinic joined Poudre Valley Medical Group in 2010 and also provides neurology services in Estes Park and Steamboat Springs. A clinic will open in Laramie, Wyo. in the fall of 2011.
