Welcome to The Spinal Muscular Atrophy Clinical Research Center About The SMA Clinic At the Pediatric SMA Clinic, a neurologist with expertise in SMA and pediatric neuromuscular disease conducts the SMA evaluation. The first step in being evaluated is to be seen by one of the physicians at the clinic. A thorough neurological examination will be conducted and previous tests reviewed. If indicated, additional diagnostic examinations (tests) may be recommended. Mission Statement  The Pediatric SMA Clinic is committed to providing comprehensive patient care, supporting research into the cause and cure for spinal muscular atrophy, educating tomorrow's health care professionals, and reaching out to the community we serve. The SMA clinic offers expertise, education, resources, and guidance to families affected by SMA. We aim to facilitate access to state of the art comprehensive care by working with a network of specialists with expertise in pediatric neuromuscular disease. This multidisciplinary care will allow patients and their families to minimize trips to medical appointments. We will create a plan of care in a compassionate, child friendly environment with the goal of maintaining the highest level of independence and function possible.
