AANEM laboratory accreditation means an electrodiagnostic laboratory has been reviewed against published standards by the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine, including peer review of actual reports. It is awarded to individual laboratories, not to practices. Both CNS offices hold it independently for their own electrodiagnostic laboratory rather than sharing a single designation.

Accreditation is not a certificate for displaying. The process examines the qualifications of the physicians interpreting studies, the equipment and how it is maintained and calibrated, the protocols used, safety and infection control, and, importantly, the quality of actual reports submitted for peer review. That last element is what distinguishes it from a self-declaration: real studies are read by other electrodiagnostic physicians against published standards.
This is the part patients and referrers most often miss. Accreditation attaches to a specific laboratory at a specific location, not to a practice or a physician. A group with several sites can hold accreditation at one and not another, so the useful question is whether the office you will actually attend holds it. An unaccredited laboratory can perform the same study, which is exactly why the distinction is worth asking about rather than assuming.
Both the Las Vegas and Henderson offices hold AANEM accreditation for their electrodiagnostic laboratories, independently rather than as a shared designation. The practice was also the first physician-owned outpatient electrodiagnostic laboratory in Nevada to reach the association's exemplary status rating. Those are the accreditations this practice holds; they relate to electrodiagnostic testing specifically and are not a broader clinic-wide accreditation.
Clinical Neurology Specialists has been physician-owned since 1998, when Leo Germin, M.D., FAANEM founded it. Five board-certified neurologists and four advanced practice providers see patients at the Las Vegas and Henderson offices, each with its own AANEM-accredited electrodiagnostic laboratory.
Clinical Neurology Specialists is an adult outpatient neurology practice for patients 18 and older. The practice performs no surgery and operates no imaging suite, infusion suite or interventional pain programme, and provides no emergency or inpatient care.
