The multidisciplinary clinic for Rett syndrome is the only one of its kind in Israel. Our clinic is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and providing follow-up to patients with Rett syndrome and similar conditions. Treatment is provided in collaboration with the Israeli Rett Syndrome Foundation and the paramedical team working alongside them, while maintaining constant communication with the families of our patients.
Our clinic staff is actively engaged in basic and clinical research on Rett syndrome, collaborating with respected institutions both in Israel and abroad, and is in close contact with the world's leading centers dedicated to studying this syndrome.
Dr. Batia Weiss, the director of the gastroenterology unit, oversees the clinic in collaboration with a neurologist, an orthopedist, and a dietitian.
