Overview

My practice is primarily focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the peripheral nervous system, which includes disease that affects the nerve, muscle, and the connection between the two. I have a particular interest in autoimmune neurological disorders such as myasthenia gravis and CIDP. I perform EMG, nerve conduction studies, and ultrasound to aid in diagnosis and treatment. Outside of this, I also care for patients with a broader range of neurological diagnoses including seizure, stroke, and headache.

I am a specialist in neuromuscular medicine. I diagnose and treat people with neuromuscular diseases, such as ALS, neuropathy, myopathy, and myasthenia gravis. I always want to make an accurate diagnosis and provide effective treatment. However, treating every person with humanity is equally important to me. I believe in listening carefully to people as they describe their symptoms and as they express concerns they may have. Listening and treating people with respect is key to the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Li is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease). Her top areas of expertise are Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3.
