Finding a good neurologist is one of the biggest challenges with MS. Some doctors rush through appointments, while others really take the time to listen.
How did you find the right neurologist?
What made you stick with them?
Have you had to switch doctors before?
Any red flags to watch for?
I’m curious to hear everyone’s experiences!
I have been lucky - mine is great because he explains everything in simple terms and doesn’t rush me. I have not had to change thankfully. For red flags - unfortunately, some neuros rush through visits. I started bringing a list of questions to make sure I get answers before they leave the room
A big red flag for me is when they dismiss my symptoms as ‘just anxiety'...but i finally found one I like. I had to go through three neurologists before finding one who actually listened to me!
