DISCLAIMER: The following information is based on patient recommendations. The ataxia.info portal has no commercial relationships with any healthcare professional and does not take responsibility for possible issues in medical care. It is always advisable to confirm whether the doctor provides care for ataxias. Some limit this care to the public hospital where they work, while others only offer private consultations. Consultation fees vary widely. Some doctors accept health insurance, while others do not.
