My Notes
Doctor of the Year from the MGFA is awarded to the physician who has made extraordinary efforts to assist individuals and their families affected by myasthenia gravis, a highly misdiagnosed neuromuscular, autoimmune disease in which communication between the nerve and muscle is impaired, causing weakness. Dr. Pourmand serves as the Director of the Neuromuscular Disease Center at Stony Brook University Medical Center
