--from what I have been able to deduce (a lot of it from the literature that comes out of the researchers/doctors there) is very good at determining conditions of the central nervous system--dealing with unusual seizures, headaches, presentations of demyelinating disease. When it comes to peripheral nervous system situations, while Dr. Dyck is a world-renowned reseracher, less seems to come out of there than out of places like Johns Hopkins or Cornell-Weill.

Hopkins is the place skin biopsy was invented and normed (see papers by McArthur, Cornbluth, Mogehkar, etc.) and there is a lot of research there into rheumatological causes of neuropathy. Cornell-Weill is probably the leading research center into NON-rheumatological causes of autoimmune neuropathy (they have done pioneering work into anti-nerve antibodies and the connection between celiac and neuropathy, partly due, I am sure, to the access to the Celiac Center at Cornell/Columbia--both Cornell and Columbia are part of the NY Presbyterian health alliance--see papers by Latov, Sander, Chin, et. al.).

What I've always liked about Hopkins and Cornell is that the researchers there also run clinical practices; there's a lot of cross-pollination between clinic and lab.
