MDA Clinic
Inherited myopathies include muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies, myofibrillar myopathies, and metabolic myopathies. Mitochondrial diseases often affect muscle and are caused by defects in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell that generate energy. Our team specializes in the evaluation and treatment of these genetic muscle diseases.
Eleanor and Lou Gehrig ALS Center
Diagnosing and treating ALS and other motor neuron disorders is both difficult and complex. For these patients, quality of life is often directly linked to the timeliness and appropriateness of the care they receive. In the compassionate, collaborative setting of the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig ALS Center, our expert team specializes in providing a comprehensive treatment approach to meet the specific needs of each individual patient.

Peripheral Neuropathy Program
Peripheral neuropathy results from damage to the peripheral nervous system, which is responsible for transmitting information between the brain, the spinal cord, and the rest of the body. Autonomic neuropathy is a group of disorders that damage the nerves supplying the internal body structures that regulate numerous "automatic" body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, and bowel, bladder, and sexual function. Our team specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of these neuropathies.

Pediatric Neuromuscular Program
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and other pediatric neuromuscular disorders are the focus of this clinic. Our specialized team works collaboratively to deliver unparalleled expertise and compassionate, exemplary care to the pediatric patients and families we serve.
