Looking for Neuro in San Francisco

[Anni]

Hi-
Can anyone recommend a good neurologist in San Francisco, especially one that has experience with diagnosing MS, etc?
I am seeking DR names, if anyone has had a positive experience with a specific DR in getting a diagnosis after a long trial undiagnosed with other Neuros? or just a great neuro, someone who will listen and not be dismissive?

UCSF MS Clinic

I have been going here for over a decade and have been very pleased. Douglas Goodin, MD is my neuro and the director of the clinic. I don't know if he is taking new patients at the moment but there are several other neuros in the dept that are MS specialists.

Thanks, he was one I was looking into also. Will put on list. Any advice on who to avoid? I've been told that the best people to ask are MS diagnosed, who have been through the trials of looking for a new neuro. I hope you don't mind me asking, but did the neuro(s) diagnose your MS quickly, or was your road to diagnosis long? I have not had a spinal tap yet, but I wonder if I should as well as getting my 6 month follow-up brain MRI.
