General

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), is a serious health problem.
ABI includes any damage to the brain after birth. This includes traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from a blow to the head from a fall, car accident, assault or sport injury.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are devastating events that can significantly impact a person’s life. Following an SCI, navigating the future to achieve the best possible outcome requires a specialized approach. An SCI fellowship trained and board certified physiatrist understands the unique circumstances you may face and provides an objective and comprehensive outline of what your future may entail.

When facing a neurological injury, a physiatrist on your team offers a unique perspective, helping ensure a fair and balanced evaluation of the case.

Physiatrists are medical doctors with specialized training in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). They bridge the gap between the nervous system and physical function.

Since most genetic disorders are due to a mutation in one or more human protein-coding genes, the study of the sequence of both mutated and wild type genes have been the cornerstone of research in patterns of inheritance, drug and therapy development, disease susceptibility and diagnosis, and cancer risk. Thus, it is no surprise that scientists have diligently identified more than 12,000 of the 30,000 human protein-coding genes.
