He is a recipient of the 2006 Distinguished Research Award from the American Association of Neuromuscular Disease and Electrodiagnostic Medicine in 2006.

During his 30-year tenure at UAB, he established and brought the Division of Neuromuscular Disease to national and international prominence, published numerous articles, chapters, and abstracts on electrodiagnosis and neuromuscular diseases, and trained more than 200 residents and more than 70 fellows, including many from Korea, Turkey, Japan, Poland, Colombia, and Brazil.

He is the author of four textbooks: Clinical Electromyography: Nerve Conduction Studies (1982, 1993, and 2003); Electromyography: Neuromuscular Transmission Study (1988); Principles of Clinical Electromyography: Case Studies (1988); and Color Atlas of Nerve Biopsy Pathology (2001).
