Health Quest 6
With new healthcare regulations and rules, doctors and hospitals alike are
constantly looking for better ways to provide patients with top-quality support.
Health Quest has been successful in meeting this challenge.
During summer 2014, Health Quest welcomed Kingston Neurological Associates
to lead the Division of Neurology within HQMP, allowing all parties to focus on their
No.1 priority—the patient.
"Kingston Neurological Associates has always been committed to providing the
best possible care," says Dr. Fabio Danisi, attending neurologist at Northern Duchess
Hospital. "By joining a larger family of healthcare providers like Health Quest, we
have more reach and capability to effect change in the medical community."
SPECTRUM OF SERVICES
Six neurologists and one physiatrist make up the new HQMP Division of
Neurology group. All are attending physicians on the NDH medical staff and are
board-certified.
e group sees patients at two locations in Kingston and one in New Paltz,
offering a full complement of neurological services that includes many clinical trials
with research focusing on Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
"We know so much more today about neurological conditions than we did even
just 10 years ago, and many conditions are much more manageable than they used
to be," Danisi says. "e most important thing is early diagnosis and treatment."

Teaming Up for Your
BOTOX: MORE THAN
A PRETTY FACE
Developed decades ago to treat strabismus and
dystonia, a brain disorder that causes excessive muscle
spasms, botulinum toxin has since been found to benefit
people in more ways than simply treating wrinkles.
The drug, known to most people by one brand name,
Botox, works by relaxing muscles in isolated areas of
the body where it has been injected, without typically
causing other side effects.
"It's extraordinarily safe and effective when used
properly by someone who is experienced," says Dr. Fabio
Danisi, neurologist with Health Quest Medical Practice.
"Botulinum toxin is one of nature's most powerful toxins."
Though commonly recognized for its use in cosmetic
procedures, Danisi and other neurologists at HQMP use
botulinum toxin to treat a variety of disorders, including
dystonia, tremors, chronic headaches, excessive sweating
or salivation, and spasticity caused by stroke, brain or
spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis.
