Starting out
👋
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?
