Electrodiagnostic studies include:

Since electrodiagnostic evaluation is an extension of clinical findings, we perform focused neuromuscular examinations, including history and physical, before performing the electrical test. A comprehensive report is provided to the referring physician in a timely manner which also includes our recommendations for further management. The patient is then referred back to the referring physician for continuity care.

Our philosophy of patient-centered care includes respect for the individual patient‘s values, physical comfort, and emotional support. Communication with our patients, as well as involved family and friends, is an important aspect of our care. We also work closely with other services including physical/occupational therapy, pulmonary and pain management, etc.
