For more than 20 years, experts at the UPMC Facial Paralysis Center have diagnosed and treated many people suffering from facial nerve disorders.
As one of the main centers of facial paralysis expertise in the world, we often provide answers and second opinions for patients who feel they've run out of options.
We also teach other doctors about the symptoms and diagnosis of facial nerve disorders.
Common facial nerve disorders we treat include:
Dr. Yver and her team are dedicated to furthering research and education on facial paralysis. Many of their patients agree to be a part of research to help further the field.
Dr. Yver often publishes her research findings on the diagnosis and prognosis of facial nerve disorders and electrical testing.
We may ask you if you'd like to play a role in our research, but this is an option. You have the right to accept or decline the offer.
We realize that one’s facial appearance is a very personal and emotional subject. It's often helpful to bring a family member to your first consultation.
