For
Patients
Neuromuscular patients may come to the MDA
Clinic to confirm a diagnosis, to recieve supportive care, and to
obtain genetic counseling. Call the Muscular Dystrophy
Association (see contact info below) if you:
- are transferring from another MDA
clinic
- are seeking supportive care for a
confirmed neuromuscular diagnosis
- are seeking confirmation for a diagnosis
of a neuromuscular disease
- have a family history of neuromuscular
disease and wish to receive genetic counseling or genetic
testing
The following process is recommended for
individuals who think they may have a neuromuscular disease but
have not yet been diagnosed:
- See a primary care physician for
evaluation
- Obtain a referral to a neurologist
- Receive a confirmed or a probable
diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease from a neurologist
After the above process is complete, call to register with the
Arizona MDA program.
