Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that causes your immune system to attack the outer coating of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The MS Clinic provides care and education for patients with MS and their families. The MS care team includes neurologists, a nurse practitioner, registered nurses, and administrative staff. These health care professionals partner with you to:
The doctor will review your medical history and perform a neurological examination. You may be asked to take some tests.
After your first visit, the number and timing of follow-up appointments will be determined by your neurologist. Most patients will have an appointment once a year, in-person or by telephone. You will be notified of your appointment by mail. The appointment letter will tell you what type of appointment you have been scheduled for.
New patient consultations are on a referral basis only, meaning that a request to be seen would need to be sent by your family doctor or another primary care practitioner such as a nurse practitioner.
