DISCLAIMER: The following information is based on patient referrals. ABAHE has no commercial relationship with any healthcare professional and is not responsible for any problems during consultations. It is always a good idea to check whether the doctor provides ataxias. Some limit this care to the public hospital where they work or vice versa (only in private consultations). Consultation prices vary widely. Some doctors accept health insurance, others do not.
