The multidisciplinary team at St. Luke's Children's Muscular Dystrophy Clinic specializes in the diagnosis and medical management of neuromuscular diseases. Through our clinic, patients and families can expect to receive medical interventions that address disease symptoms and progression with a focus on enhancing quality of life and independence. Patients are typically scheduled in the clinic once a year, with children seen by several different healthcare specialists – all at one location, in one visit.
Clinic specialists include a physiatrist, neurologist, cardiologist, dietitian, genetic counselor, and physical therapist, as well as a patient care coordinator. Depending on each child's individual needs, we can also help arrange consultations outside of our clinic with additional specialists, including orthopedics, genetics, occupational therapy, neuropsychology, pulmonary medicine, and respiratory therapy providers.
Common diagnoses seen in our clinic include:
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
- Becker muscular dystrophy
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT)
- Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD)
- Mitochondrial myopathy
- Myotonic muscular dystrophy
- Merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy
- Spinal muscular atrophy
We see patients on the fourth Monday of each month, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
