Just a friendly reminder to our patients: please stay socially distanced and as isolated as possible to avoid contact with the COVID-19 virus. While is very hard to do, it is best to keep your distance even from your family and loved ones outside your immediate household for now

We ask that our patients have patience and flexibility during this crisis. Your regular Movement Disorders neurologist may be pulled at any time for other duties taking care of other sick patients in the hospital. We will always have someone to care for your needs on backup.

Please take a look at the Twitter accounts that we are following: these are the most reliable resources of experts, journals, and societies in movement disorders neurology on Twitter (though not every tweet is officially endorsed--we will share the best!)
