New Hope for Early Parkinson’s Detection

A new study published in Nature Aging reveals a promising blood test that could detect Parkinson’s disease before symptoms appear. Researchers identified specific transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) in the blood that may serve as early biomarkers—potentially paving the way for earlier diagnosis and intervention.

At Noran Neurology, we’re encouraged by advancements like these that bring us closer to proactive, personalized care for neurodegenerative conditions.

Congratulations to Our 2025 MSP Magazine Top Doctors!

We’re thrilled to announce that Steven Janousek, MD and John Damergis, MD have been named 2025 “Top Doctors” by Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine!

This prestigious honor is especially meaningful because it’s based on nominations from fellow physicians—trusted peers who were asked to identify the doctors they would choose to care for their own loved ones. Being selected reflects not only clinical excellence but also the deep trust and respect Dr. Janousek and Dr. Damergis have earned within the medical community.

We’re incredibly proud of this year’s honorees, whose expertise and compassion help us deliver exceptional neurological care every day.

What an incredible day we had at Walk MS! Under brilliant blue skies and the beautiful backdrop of Minnehaha Falls, our clinic's team showed up in force to make a real difference. Our Hydration Station was a hit, offering welcome refreshment to the steady stream of 3,200 participants and their furry family members who stopped by throughout the morning.

Special thanks to everyone who volunteered their time, energy, and enthusiasm - from setting up early Sunday morning to cheering on walkers throughout the day. The spirit of community and caring that defines our clinic was on full display.

We hope you'll join our team next year!
