Prepare for Your Visit

Welcome to the Movement Disorders Center at Washington University School of Medicine! We are delighted to have you as our new patient, and extend our warmest greetings. We understand that seeking specialized medical care can often be an overwhelming experience. Therefore, we want to take this opportunity to introduce our team of highly skilled movement disorders clinicians and collaborators who will be dedicated to providing you with the best possible care.

At the heart of our practice lies our interdisciplinary approach, where we closely collaborate with experts from fields such as neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and more. This collaboration ensures a comprehensive and personalized care plan. Our dedicated clinical team will work closely with you to explore and determine the best ways to incorporate these opportunities into your individualized care plan.

We are committed to advancing research and finding new treatments for movement disorders, and offer our patients opportunities to participate in world-class research studies. By participating, you not only contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge but also have access to cutting-edge therapies and potential future treatments. We believe in empowering our patients to make informed decisions, and we will provide you with all the necessary information and support to help you decide if participating in research is right for you.

To help us optimize your first visit and long-term care, we highly encourage you to connect with your care team prior to your first appointment. You can do this easily through our secure online patient portal called MyChart (MyPatientChart.org). By completing the necessary forms and providing relevant information prior to your visit, your care team will be able to review your medical history and prepare for a productive and efficient visit.

One week prior to your appointment, you will receive a notification to e-check in, which includes a health history questionnaire.  We strongly recommend completing this process as soon as possible, or at least four days before your scheduled visit to maximize the benefits of your appointment. Our team will be able to address your concerns more effectively and provide you with the highest quality of care.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or need further assistance. We are here to ensure your journey with us is as smooth and comfortable as possible and look forward to meeting you and working together towards improving your well-being.
