Dr. Rust enjoys meeting new patients and getting to know them while taking care of their neurological concerns. A member of the American Academy of Neurology and the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine, he was drawn to the field of neurology by the fascinating inner workings of the central and peripheral nervous systems and the opportunity to form close, personal relationships with his patients. He has been involved in clinical research concerning treatments for myasthenia gravis.
