Specializing in:
Neuromuscular Disorders • ALS • Muscle Biopsy • Interpretation • Muscular Dystrophy • Peripheral Neuropathy
Because patients generally recognize that something is wrong long before testing can pinpoint the problem, I pay careful attention to patients’ symptomatic complaints. I believe that an accurate diagnosis requires the science of medicine, but the art of medicine is the key to successful treatment.
Dr. Aggarwal gave me back my life, PA-C Donald Altenburg has helped me to keep it. Also, your office personnel are consistently welcoming and helpful.
Nice doctor, easy to talk to.
