Expert Neurofibromatosis (NF) Care


About Our Center

If you or a loved one are living with any form of NF, you understand that it can be a challenge to find one center with all the specialty expertise NF demands, such as pediatric and adult neurology, neurosurgery, neuro-oncology and genetics. The Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Neurofibromatosis Center unites these services under one roof, offering patients a coordinated, one-stop shop for NF care. We provide care across the lifespan (pediatrics to adults) as part of one comprehensive team.
