"As a neuromuscular physician, I am most often treating patients with either inherited or acquired chronic medical conditions. I view myself as a member of each patient's care team -- a team that has several important voices, including the patient, family members, caregivers, other medical specialists, social workers, therapists, teachers, etc. As such, my most important skill is to listen to every member of the team so that we can work together to help optimize my patient's functional abilities and help him/her live each day to the fullest."
