Movement Disorders
Caring for you — every step of the way
Our approach to movement disorders care
Movement disorders are neurological conditions that cause either increased movements or reduced or slow movements, both voluntary and involuntary.
We know that these disorders and their symptoms can be difficult and can significantly impact your quality of life. That's why we take a compassionate, personalized approach to your care.
We offer a wide range of treatment options, therapy and support groups — so you have access to the best possible care.

Movement disorders specialists
Our specialists have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia and other involuntary movement disorders.
Our team partners with the Parkinson's Foundation, the International Essential Tremor Foundation and the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation, so we remain up to date on the latest advances in medications, research, surgeries and therapies.
