Disorders of the brain can have an enormous impact on people’s lives -- physically, intellectually, and emotionally.

Because patients with neurological movement disorders such as Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease often live with their conditions for years, it is essential that they form an alliance with a neurologist who specializes in the complex, personalized care they need.

At Duke, patients have access to specialized equipment and technology that allows for diagnosis and ongoing treatment of neurological diseases. Duke’s experienced and caring clinicians offer the most sophisticated care available for patients suffering from movement disorders that include, but are not limited to:

• Alzheimer’s disease

• Essential tremor
• Huntington’s disease
