From the article: Find a Multiple Sclerosis Doctor
Often the doctor that diagnoses us with multiple sclerosis (MS) is not necessarily the person that we want to stick with in a long-term partnership to manage the different aspects of life with MS. She might have a terrible bedside manner, he might be rigid in his thinking, she might retire, we might move – all sorts of things can lead us to be in the position of “doc-shopping.” How did you find your current neurologist? What tips or advice might you have for other people with MS who are “in the market” for a new neurologist? Share Ideas and Stories

Another patient
- I was told about a ms specialist through another ms patient. I also looled up that neurologist ratings to see what other ms patients had said. Doctor had a very good score and great ratings.

Hospital dx
- I went into the hospital when I went temporarily blind last fall and the on call neurologist did a lumbar puncture and looked at the MRI to dx my MS. She became my neurologist. She scared the crud out of me at the time with her blunt style since I was understandably freaked out but she apologized and I like her now.

Neuro surgeon
- I went go a neurosurgeon on the advice of a chiropractor friend. He then called a neurologist, Dr. Prasad. I went to her and absolutely love her.
