Care Philosophy
'I believe people with MS should have an active role in directing their care. As such, my most important role as a physician is to provide information and choices to my patients. Because every person with MS has different needs, we believe in individualizing therapies using a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.' *
What is Neurology?
Neurology is the study of disorders of the nervous system. A neurologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats nervous system disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. This specialist deals with problems related to brain disease, disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves, and the blood vessels that provide circulation to these organs. A neurologist also treats specific diseases such as Bell’s palsy, cerebellar ataxia and meningitis.
