Achieving an effective

partnership

Nobody likes to go to the doctor, but when a child has a neuromuscular disease, doctor visits usually are a regular part of life.

A good working relationship between parents and their child’s various doctors goes a long way toward making the experience positive for everyone involved and ensuring the child gets the best medical care. To that end, there are steps both doctors and parents can take to help create an effective and successful partnership.
