Department faculty members provide patient care as well conduct clinical and basic scientific research. These physicians specialize in neuromuscular diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenia and Lambert-Eaton syndrome.

Patients with neuromuscular diseases are evaluated in a weekly special clinic for all age groups that is among the largest in the nation. Full diagnostic facilities are available, including electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, muscle pathology, muscle typing, biochemical studies and electron microscopy. Genetic counseling, cytogenetics and disability testing is available when required for patients with myoneural and biochemical muscle disorders. Patients with motor neuron disease are seen in a multidisciplinary Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Clinic that meets twice monthly at UC Davis Medical Center. A specialized Peripheral Neuropathy Clinic also meets weekly and evaluates patients with a variety of inherited, toxic and metabolic neuropathies.
