New NMO and TM Center and Pediatric Demyelinating Disease Clinic at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Benjamin M. Greenberg has moved from the TM Center at Johns Hopkins to the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas.  Dr. Greenberg has opened a new clinical and research center for Neuromyelitis Optica and Transverse Myelitis and will serve as the Director.  The NMO and TM Center is a fully integrated clinical program offering neurology, urology, psychiatry, and physical medicine and rehabilitation, for both adult and pediatric populations.  Dr. Greenberg is also establishing a Pediatric Demyelinating Disease Clinic at the Children’s Hospital, which will offer a comprehensive clinical program where patients will receive physical and occupational therapy evaluation, case management, cutting edge testing, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and neurocognitive testing.  Dr. Greenberg will also continue his research in NMO, TM and the other rare neuroimmunologic disorders, including clinical trials for acute and chronic care for people with these diseases, as well as basic science research looking into the causes and better, more novel treatments.

Dr. Greenberg’s wonderful nurse, Maureen A. Mealy, also made the move to UT Southwestern from Johns Hopkins and will serve as the Center Clinical Research Manager.  Besides coordinating the care of patients at the center, Maureen is leading multiple initiatives to better understand the impact of these various diseases on the lives of patients. An appointment for adults may be scheduled with Dr. Greenberg by calling (214)645-8800, option 5.   The main number for the Children’s Hospital is (214)456-7000.
