Neuroimmunology Clinic
When a child’s immune system mistakenly attacks the brain, spinal cord or nerves, it can cause symptoms that affect movement, thinking, behavior and everyday activities. These conditions can be frightening and confusing for families, especially when symptoms appear suddenly or the diagnosis is uncertain.
At the Neuroimmunology Clinic, we partner with families to understand their child’s condition and find the best path forward. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions involving the immune system, providing personalized care that supports each child’s unique needs.
We believe families deserve clear answers, compassionate guidance and hope for the future. We work closely with children and their families throughout diagnosis, treatment and recovery, helping them navigate challenges and achieve the best possible quality of life.
