Exciting 2025 Practice Updates

New Practice Hours – Effective June 2025

Starting in June 2025, Austin Neuromuscular Center will be closed on Fridays. All clinical, administrative, and phone services will be unavailable on this day.

Now Hiring: Neuromuscular Neurologists

As we continue to expand, Austin Neuromuscular Center is looking to grow our physician team. We are currently seeking to hire up to two fellowship-trained neurologists with a subspecialty in neuromuscular medicine.

Expanded Multidisciplinary ALS Clinic

Austin Neuromuscular Center has doubled the number of clinic days each month in our Multidisciplinary ALS Clinic to meet growing patient demand. This expansion increases access to team-based, comprehensive care for individuals living with ALS and their families.

In recognition of this commitment, our clinic was designated an ALS Association Certified Treatment Center of Excellence—a distinction that reflects our quality of care and long-standing partnership with the National ALS Association.

We also support the ALS community through ongoing outreach. This October will mark our third year participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS, and we continue to contribute locally through the Under Ballou Skies Golf Classic & Party, benefiting the ALS Association of Texas.

New Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Clinic Launching

We are proud to open a new Myasthenia Gravis Clinic in May 2025. This specialized clinic will provide state-of-the-art care tailored to individuals living with MG, including:

  • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations
  • Multidisciplinary treatment planning
  • Access to advanced therapies
  • Participation in clinical research

Clinical Trials and Research

At the National Neuromuscular Research Institute (NNRI), we continue to advance the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular diseases through clinical trials. Our current studies focus on innovative therapies, particularly for patients with limited treatment options.

All trials are conducted with the highest safety and scientific standards. Providers or individuals interested in learning more about eligibility are encouraged to reach out.
