I had one dr who didn't know or didn't care and I dropped her she put me and my health at risk.

I will say this all of my drs defer to my MS dr . If I ask them a question about something the 1st thing they will say what did your neuro say or think.

When my previous neurologist retired the doctor who replaced him told me at THE END of my first appointment with her that she did not “specialize” in MS, so if anything came up with me and my MS she would have to refer me to another doctor. I was so frustrated because by this time, the end of my appointment, it was too late to switch to another doctor within the group who did know about MS. I shared this information with my GP and asked him if he could treat my MS (because I just love my GP, he’s extremely thorough), he said “yes!” I haven’t done this yet but it’s weight off my shoulders to know it. He can do the exact same thing my new neurologist can do. They both would have to refer me to a specialist if something came up. So why go to two different doctors who basically do the same things?
