I was officially dx'd May 2013 RRMS; started Tec in June and have been doing ok. I see an MS doc through University Hospitals and I really like him. He'll be retiring this year and I have to decide whether to stay with UH or perhaps switch over to the Mellon Center (through the Cleveland Clinic). The Mellon Center is renowned and someone I know is a patient there and has received extremely good care.
My concern: I absolutely LOVE my PCP & my Gyno through UH. If I decide to switch to the Mellon Center for my MS care, I believe I have to also switch my primary care docs. I think the Mellon Center has it set up where you get a team of docs -- it's a package deal.
My friend loves her MS doc but is not thrilled with her PCP care because they seem to rotate frequently -- leaving for fellowships, etc. She doesn't have that rapport with a primary which I so value with mine.
At first glance, this may seem like a no brainer -- go with The Mellon Center, but there are many good MS docs out there and I'm really torn.
Any and all advice is welcomed!
Thanks,
Bree
