Dr. Lavian is especially enthusiastic about the field’s ever-expanding arsenal of tests and treatments for neurologic diseases. In her words, “I was drawn to Synapticure not only because it provides comprehensive care for our patients in a convenient manner, but also Synapticure is at the forefront of ever expanding diagnostic and treatment advancements in Neuromuscular diseases with offering genetic testing, comprehensive treatment plans, and overall access for our patients so they can experience top notch comprehensive care.”
