A friend of mine just contacted me to ask about an MS specialist in the bay area. His sister-in-law is suffering and trying to get diagnosed and treated up there. I'm in Southern California so I don't know who to tell him. Does anybody have a name or a recommendation that you could share ?

UCSF MS Clinic at 1500 Owens St, SF

(415) 353-2069

They are awesome, with many neurologists, and helpful staff. They can do most of the testing there. If you need an MRI, you would go to UCSF on Parnassus Ave., San Francisco. I have been a patient there since last October, they have been incredibly considerate, responsive to my appointment and Rx needs. Hope they are able to help you. Lynn

Same comment. UCSF has a fantastic team. It's a group of neuros specialized in ms. They have many staff on board to help with paperwork, insurance, appt booking for treatment. The infusion center there is also top notch.

I highly recommend them.
