Neurology & Behavioral Health Care in Hagerstown & Cumberland, MD
Mir Neurology Center brings board-certified neurological care, advanced diagnostic testing, behavioral health support, and long-term treatment planning to patients across western Maryland. Our team is committed to making specialized care more personal, accessible, and closer to home.
Mir Neurology Center was founded to bring specialized neurological care to patients and families throughout Hagerstown, Cumberland, and the surrounding western Maryland region. What began as one physician's commitment to local access has grown into a multi-provider practice providing neurological and behavioral health care with a focus on clear diagnoses, advanced testing, thoughtful treatment planning, and long-term patient relationships.
Who We Are
Mir Neurology Center was established by Dr. Sarim Mir, a board-certified neurologist with more than three decades of experience in neurological care. After graduating from King Edward Medical University in 1987 and completing advanced training in clinical neurophysiology, Dr. Mir built a practice designed to deliver high-level neurology care locally instead of forcing patients to travel long distances for specialized evaluation and treatment.
Today, Mir Neurology serves patients from Washington County, Allegany County, and surrounding communities with a growing team of neurologists and advanced practice providers. Our practice now combines neurological expertise with behavioral health support while maintaining a patient-first philosophy centered on listening carefully, explaining clearly, and building treatment plans around each person's individual needs.

Our Mission
Our mission is to provide neurological and behavioral health care that is clinically excellent, compassionate, and accessible. Every patient deserves a thorough evaluation, clear guidance, and a treatment plan that supports both symptom management and long-term quality of life.
That mission shapes the way we practice every day. From first appointments and diagnostic testing to medication management, behavioral health support, and ongoing follow-up, our focus is on making complex care easier to navigate for patients and caregivers alike.
What Makes Mir Neurology Different
Patients choose Mir Neurology because they want more than quick visits and disconnected referrals. Our neurologists and advanced practice providers bring experience to conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease, tremor, memory disorders, migraines, neuropathy, sleep disorders, and other neurological concerns.
With the addition of behavioral health care, adult patients can also access psychiatric evaluation, medication management, individual therapy, and support for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress-related concerns, and other mental health needs. This is especially valuable when mood, sleep, concentration, and neurological symptoms overlap.
Our offices offer diagnostic capabilities including EEG testing, EMG and nerve conduction studies, cognitive assessment, and medical Botox for qualifying neurological conditions. By keeping evaluation, treatment, and follow-up closely connected, we help patients move through care more efficiently.
Mir Neurology accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and provides care in Hagerstown and Cumberland so patients throughout western Maryland can remain closer to home while receiving specialized care.
