My name is Jordan Garris and I'm a child neurologist. My subspecialty area of interest is movement disorders; tics, such as in TouretteÕs syndrome, stereotypies, tremor, ataxia, dystonia, chorea. But then I also see patients who have other diagnoses in child neurology; seizures, epilepsy, headaches, developmental delay. Growing up my father was a family physician and I had a lot of respect for him and the long-term relationships that he had with patients over time. I have always valued that and seeing him as a role model and wanted to emulate that in some way in my career and so medicine was a way to balance that sort of long-term relationship with also a continual intellectual stimulation. A new patient who's coming to see me, sometimes patients may have a lot of information in the medical chart or maybe not, but either way I like to hear their story from the patient themselves and or their family. In child neurology we can't always change what the ultimate outcome is going to be, but it's really about helping patients with their quality of life and their family's quality of life and making patients know that I am going to be there and help them achieve those goals as best able and walking that road with them is very rewarding.
