On the first Tuesday of each month from 4-6 pm Arizona time, except for holiday weekends, ACMI will have featured guests to discuss a relevant behavioral health topic; after the speaker, we will discuss current issues with the behavioral health system attendees. We are pleased to have David Shprecher, DO, MS of Banner Sun Health Research Institute – Movement Disorders Program Director. Dr Shprecher will discuss movement disorders.
Our speaker:
Dr. David Shprecher, DO, MS, is a neurologist who serves as Banner’s Movement Disorders Program Director, overseeing patient care and clinical research studies. He specializes in diagnosis, treatment, and research for movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, tics and Tourette syndrome, Huntington disease, dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, tremor, progressive supranuclear palsy, and multiple system atrophy.
Dr. Shprecher completed a doctor of osteopathic medicine degree at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and a Neurology residency at the University of Utah. He completed his movement disorders/experimental therapeutics fellowship and Masters in Clinical Investigation at
the University of Rochester. Previously, Dr. Shprecher mentored numerous students and trainees while serving as Movement Disorders Division Chief at the University of Utah. Inspired by personal experience as an individual with Tourette syndrome, he has dedicated his career to improving treatment options and quality of life for movement disorder patients. His work with the Brain and Body Donation Program is aimed at improving early diagnosis of Parkinson’s and related diseases. The ultimate goal is to develop a treatment that can prevent these illnesses entirely.
