He particularly focuses on a form of the condition that affects musicians and other patients whose work requires repetitive movements. Bledsoe's research interests include finding better treatments for dystonia and using neuroimaging – advanced image-producing technologies applied to the nervous system – to improve understanding of what causes the condition. He has also used neuroimaging to study cognitive problems associated with Parkinson's disease. Bledsoe received his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He then completed a residency in neurology as well as a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology and electromyography at Stanford Health Care. At Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, he also completed a fellowship in movement disorders and a master's degree in clinical research.

    Dr. Ethan G. Brown is a neurologist who primarily cares for adults with movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, other types of parkinsonism, ataxia, dystonia, tremor and related conditions. He focuses on diagnosing and managing movement disorders through lifestyle changes and medications, as well as treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox). He also works with a team of other specialists to help manage deep brain stimulation and other surgical therapies. In research, Brown is interested in characterizing the earliest stages – or prodromal stage – of Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. His projects involve identifying risk factors for these conditions and finding methods that facilitate their earliest possible diagnosis. Through a better understanding of prodromal disease, he hopes to enable earlier symptom treatment and biomarker identification (finding measurable indications of disease) and also to advance investigations of new treatments. Brown is also interested in environmental exposures that may be related to the development of Parkinson's disease or its progression. He is studying how changes in the gut microbiome (intestinal bacteria), among other factors, may contribute to Parkinson's disease symptoms, impact disease progression, or affect how drugs are transformed in the body. He is conducting a clinical trial (a study using human volunteers) to explore whether manipulating the gut microbiome can ease symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. Brown earned his medical degree at Weill Cornell Medical College. He completed a residency in neurology and a fellowship in movement disorders at UCSF. He is a member of the American Academy of Neurology and International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. In his free time, Brown enjoys hiking, biking and being with his family. Dr. Brown is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Wilson Disease. His top areas of expertise are Movement Disorders, Parkinson's Disease, Drug Induced Dyskinesia, and Corticobasal Degeneration.

    What is the definition of Wilson Disease?

    Wilson disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissues. The excess copper damages the liver and nervous system.

    When should I see a Wilson Disease doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Wilson Disease doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Wilson Disease doctors near San Francisco, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Wilson Disease doctors near San Francisco, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Wilson Disease doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Wilson Disease doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Wilson Disease doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Wilson Disease doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Wilson Disease doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Wilson Disease doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Wilson Disease doctors near San Francisco, CA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Wilson Disease doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Wilson Disease doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Wilson Disease doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
