Review for Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois Inc, Elmhurst, IL, USA
My sister, Alison, has MG. After receiving improper (and often dismissive) treatment from a local neurologist, she was guided by this organization to Dr. Julie Rowan at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Rowan was wholly responsive. She informed Alison of treatment options and helped her manage the day-to-day challenges...physical, psychological...associated with this condition. My sister opted for a surgical route and had her Thymus gland removed. Alison's symptoms have since abated. She is being weaned from her prescribed steroids and is feeling very well.
Julie Rowan is a gifted doctor without whom Alison's life would be very different. Our family thanks the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois for its education, support and medical network. God bless you!
