NF Clinic in New Jersey?

[Nank]

Has anyone been to the NF Clinic in Newark?

I just made an appointment with them for 11/11 to see if I am NF2. 

Not sure what to expect.  WHat kind of work up do they do?  Do I just bring all old MRIs and bloodwork or whatever else I have?

Thanks.

Hi Nank;
   I went to Mayo Clinic's NF-2 clinic more than once. I'm not sure all are the same. It may depend upon whether one has children, or wants children, or not.
   What I mostly received is an education about NF-2. They didn't offer a blood test as I had 2 ANs.
   The dept. may have a Medical Geneticist. They are brilliant professionals!
   Re, your records; If I were going there, I'd let them ask for what they want. They have their own Dr. specialists. Mayo even wanted their own MRIs even though I had a fresh MRI.
   Must say I felt their Tx plan idea was more adventurous than the Neurotologist and Neurosurgeons.
   And the Geneticist, much prettier, which made everything feel good those days.

Nank, which medical center in Newark is the clinic affiliated with? Just thinking if you are going to Newark, you might want to drive a little further into Manhattan.
