Letter from the Director
Nicolas Phielipp, MD Director of Huntington’s Disease Clinic and HDSA Center of Excellence at UCI
Patients seeking care, or an initial consultation regarding HD, can choose to have an initial genetic counseling meeting with our counselor Kirsten Blanco, and/or a medical consultation with clinicians in our Movement Disorders Program which is an HDSA Center of Excellence. Our program has established a clinic with a focus on HD that runs on Wednesday mornings. Although all clinicians in the program will support the care of HD patients, Dr Nicolas Phielipp, our center director, and Dr Ravi Rajmohan, with training in cognitive neurosciences as well as movement disorders, both devote special attention to our HD patients. The program is supported by a social worker who will assess the different needs of families with HD. Through support from HD-CARE, patients may receive financial assistance so those in need can access specialized care resources.
Our program's main clinic is located in the new Joe C Wen and Family Center for Advanced Care at 19200 Jamboree Road, 4th floor, Neurosciences. We also participate in clinical research projects, so please ask us if you are interested
