You're meeting a new doctor
These are the questions MS nurses and experienced patients say matter most when meeting a new neurologist.

Your Questions

  • Do you specialize in MS? How many MS patients do you see?
  • What's your approach to DMTs — escalation or high-efficacy first?
  • How quickly can I reach you during a relapse?
  • Do you have an MS nurse coordinator?
  • How often will I have MRI monitoring?
  • What other specialists should I be seeing?
  • Are you involved in any clinical trials?
  • What is your opinion on lifestyle factors (exercise, diet, vitamin D)?
  • How do you communicate between visits — patient portal, phone, email?
  • Who covers for you when you are out of the office?
