Hi John,

 

You should see a neurologist for your MS, preferably a specialist in MS.  You should also have a separate primary care doctor who can attend to your general health needs.  A neurologist is trained to deal with neurological issues, but isn't really the persont to go to if you have a cold or a broken foot.

 

Does that help, or did you need more specific information for your location?

Hi John,

Lisa is right.. an MS specialist is best. If you asking where you can find an MS neurologist; you can start by contacting the National MS Society in your area. They can usually recommend a doctor close by.

 

If this isn't what you're asking, let us know.

Best,

Amy
