ALS Clinic

Through the clinic's excellent diagnostic capabilities we have been able to identify other treatable or more benign conditions in approximately 15% of patients who come to the Center with a diagnosis of suspected ALS. It is our constant hope to recognize other conditions that look like ALS and might be susceptible to effective treatment.

Our diagnostic efforts involve a team of ALS experts using leading-edge techniques who work to provide a definitive diagnosis by comprehensive clinical evaluation. The latest in imaging, electrodiagnostic testing, and nerve and muscle pathology forms the nucleus of techniques used in the diagnostic process.

Our knowledgeable clinical staff is committed to providing the highest level of comprehensive patient care and management for all aspects of ALS.

Additionally, interested ALS patients may be evaluated for involvement in any of our ongoing clinical treatment trials.
