Patients

In all of our programs, we take an interdisciplinary approach to providing comprehensive care for Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and other movement disorders. The core program staff work together with an interdisciplinary clinical team that includes nurses as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapists, and social workers.  We also collaborate with colleagues in neurogenetics, neuropsychology, and neurosurgery to provide specialized services on an individual basis.

The UVA Parkinson’s Disease Program is known for its world class clinical care, research, and training.

The UVA Huntington’s Disease Program has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the Huntington’s Disease Society of America since 2000 and provides interdisciplinary services through a monthly clinic dedicated to the care of patients and families with HD.

• Comprehensive Parkinson’s Disease Clinic
• Huntington’s Disease Clinic
• Deep brain stimulation and focused ultrasound clinic (in conjunction with neurosurgery)
