Many of our new patients first come to us after receiving a movement disorder diagnosis from another doctor, either their Primary Care Physician or a different type of doctor. These patients will sometimes have a referral to see us.
Other patients come to us without having received a diagnosis from another doctor. Many of these patients are exhibiting signs and symptoms that they suspect may indicate a movement disorder. For these patients, we will typically make the initial diagnosis as part of our evaluation and treatment.

Step 2 — We Make Sure Your Case Is a Good Fit

You can help speed up the scheduling process with a doctor’s referral. Currently we require a doctor’s referral for all new patients.
