Huntington's Disease Medical Clinic

The Huntington's Disease Medical Clinic has been serving patients and families since 1983. A multidisciplinary team including geneticists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and a genetic counselor have been assembled at the clinic to provide care to individuals affected with HD.

Our Team

The individual(s) will meet with members of this team and, in turn, the team will help the family physician arrive at the best care possible for their patient(s).
