My neuro is an MDA Director. All that really means is that he is an expert at certain MDA diseases. He is an MG expert. He does a "group" meeting for people with MG too.
So really there's not a lot of differences in an MDA clinic. Hopefully they will know more about MG and treat you better!!!!

Hi Annie,
MDA has 220 clinics in the US. I've been referred to them by my neuro and will be seen at their clinic (if they ever get it scheduled) for tests and eval for other suggestions about my second condition. In Denver, neuros often refer clients to the MDA clinic located here for help with "messy" symptoms like mine, or to confirm a dx, or for more specialized testing. Unless you apply to be treated and followed by one of the MDA clinic docs here, you have to have a referral from a neuro to see them. There is more information on the MDA.org website for anyone interested. Just an FYI.
Hope you're doing ok. Hugs to you.
