Looking for new doctor.

Are there any suggestions for Neurologists who specialize in treating aging patients. I need a doctor who understands my healthcare issues.

The magazine was titled "Aging well with MS' but when Icalle asking for help in that subject, I got very little help.

This is my 5 decade living with ms. and finding someone is one of my priorities for this year. I don't want to put this off because I manage all of my healthcare. Thanks for any information.

are you up here in Jersey? Well, south Jersey. Then I recommend Cooper. I also go to Jefferson but even my dr from Jefferson recommended me to Cooper!

I understand how frustrating that is.

My MS Doctor's name is Dr. Kristen Babinski.

508-879-0888. Let me know if she helps.

Though I wish you success, you'll need a lot of luck. I've had no luck at all. It's very frustrating.

I'm withyou! I live here in Tx. and my Neuro retired. I cannot drive much and am in so much pain but can't find anyone. No one wants to treat me due to my ageee.

YellowButtons try to find a neurologist that is an MS specialist. It makes a big difference in how they attack your disease. Stick to a University, if you can in your area that is large because they usually have an MS specialist within them. If you don't want to go that route try calling the National MS Society at 1-800-fightms. They will put you in touch with your local chapter. Within each region they have developed a network of neurologists they call their partners in hope. These neurologists are awesome and will never give up on you and are up-to-date on all the latest developments and treatments when it comes to MS. Good luck in your search and I hope my information helped. Fancy59.

When I checked with the MS site in 2022. There are only 3 MS centers in TX. UTSW in Dallas. One in San Antonio & in Houston. Zero in Arkansas & 1 in Lake Charles Louisiana. I chose UTSW it’s about 3 hours away but they’re wonderful.

I would use Carolek's link. Dr. Boster has ruined me on YouTube. I want a doc like him, but Ohio is too far away. 😂 Although, I would have to travel out of state anyway to use an MS clinic. Let us know what you find!
