The subspecialty of neurological movement disorders that he brings to the practice adds yet another important dimension to our comprehensive menu of neurologic services," comments Dr. Mark Mintz, CNNH's President, CEO and Founder.
Dr. Kurlan explains that movement disorders are diseases of the brain in which:
1) movement is too slow, such as in Parkinson's disease or related conditions, or
2) there are involuntary movements, such as tics, tremors, dystonia, chorea, myoclonus or restless legs.
In addition to seeing patients with Tourette Syndrome, Tic Disorder, Parkinson's and other movement disorders, Dr. Kurlan will also be available to consult with existing CNNH patients who have movement disorders in addition to other special needs.
"I am excited to join CNNH with its focus on multidisciplinary and holistic neurologic care to bring a subspecialty focus on movement disorders and to expand our services further for pediatric and adult patients."
