Neurological and Specialty Clinics
Neurologists
The National Ataxia Foundation has compiled a list of neurologists across the United States and in some countries who see patients who have Ataxia or other movement disorders. The NAF does not verify the medical qualifications, licenses, or medical practice capabilities of the listed physicians.
Each PDF file below includes a list of neurologists, with contact information, who have indicated that they have an interest in serving Ataxia patients. You will need to download and install the free Adobe Reader to open any of the PDF files.
Ataxia Clinics
Ataxia Clinics are specialty clinics committed to providing specialized medical care for people affected with Cerebellar Ataxia. Clinics are devoted to the diagnosis, treatment and management of Ataxias as well as prevention and management of complications affecting this group of patients. Patients with the many types of rare Ataxias can benefit from multidisciplinary specialists, which often include genetic counselors, speech therapists, physical therapists and other specialists who are devoted to the care and treatment of those with Ataxia.
