You don’t have to navigate Ataxia alone.

While every journey is different, treatment usually involves a combination of medication and specialized therapies to manage symptoms, enhance coordination, and improve your overall quality of life. 

No. Many patients come to us in the "diagnostic gray area"—either experiencing unexplained coordination issues or having been told they have "ataxia" without a clear explanation of the cause. Scheduling an intake is the first step toward clarity. We will help verify your insurance and answer any questions before coordinating an introductory call with your virtual care team.

Yes. We provide a  diagnosis by reviewing your medical and family history, symptoms, and prior workups. For many patients, the key to finding a specific answer lies in genetic testing, which can confirm the exact type of hereditary ataxia and help your family understand their own risks.

It depends on your specific history, but common steps include a detailed neurologic history and exam, a review of prior imaging (like an MRI), targeted lab work, and nerve and muscle testing (EMG/NCS). Because many ataxias are hereditary, genetic testing is frequently a central part of the evaluation to provide a clear and conclusive diagnosis.

No. If you have prior records, we will review them thoroughly so you don’t repeat tests unnecessarily. If anything is missing, we’ll explain why it matters and coordinate local referrals for you.

A significant portion of an ataxia evaluation involves a careful clinical history and guided movement tasks performed over video. If a specific part of the evaluation requires an in-person study, we will tell you exactly what is needed and help coordinate it locally. Virtual care is a faster way to get organized, supported, and moving forward.

No. We work in collaboration with your existing care team. We act as a specialized layer of support to help diagnose and create a highly specific care plan that you can implement alongside your local doctors.
