Neuromuscular Clinic
Information about your visit
We understand clinic visits can be hard for patients and their parents, especially for our younger patients. We now have a dedicated Child Life specialist in clinic to support you and your child during your clinic visits. This person can provide entertainment, distraction, and emotional support if you choose. We have found that parents sometimes need to speak privately with the specialists, and this Child Life person can provide distraction and play time for your child while you speak freely to your child's medical team.
While we keep some snacks and juice boxes on hand and do our best to make your visit as comfortable as possible, we suggest bringing a favorite snack and toy for your child to keep him or her satisfied while in clinic.
Lodging Options
We highly recommend the UCLA Tiverton House if you require any lodging. It is a 100-room hotel designed to meet the needs of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center patients and their families in Westwood. Making it possible to be nearby when support and closeness are needed most.
