Angelman Syndrome Clinic
The comprehensive Angelman Syndrome clinic at Vanderbilt is a partnership with the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. We aim to provide comprehensive care to all individuals with Angelman syndrome from birth through adulthood.
At Monroe Carell we want to improve upon and implement new standards of care. We use a strong evidence base and the knowledge and experience we have gained working with families and other medical experts around the world. Ultimately, we want to improve the quality of life for both our patients and their caregivers.
We believe our care extends outside the clinic. An appointment at Monroe Carell is only the beginning of learning more about your child. We add a personal touch and strong advocacy for every child. Our clinic combines medical care, education, scientific research and clinical trials to provide your family with every available therapy. We work with your medical home to ensure continuity of care.
Why Choose the Angelman Syndrome Clinic at Monroe Carell
- Access to specialists
Your child and family have easy access to other medical and surgical specialists at Monroe Carell. Because we're part of a large children's hospital, it's easy for us to talk to these experts about your child's condition and decide on the best treatment plan.
- Collaborative care
Your child will see our team of specialists in one appointment and in one room. They work together during the appointment and share a single record to decide the best plan of care for your child. We also partner with your child's local pediatrician and other providers they have seen to learn medical history and make the best plan for ongoing health.
- Individual treatment plan
Your child is unique, so we perform a thorough medical history and physical exam to develop a treatment plan that's just right for them. We make referrals to other specialties as needed to ensure you have the quickest and easiest access to all the care your child needs.
