Does anyone know of a good neurologist in eastern PA? My doctor is no longer in the area and I really dislike her replacement.
I was diagnosed with MS in 2006, I have a few brain lesions but many spinal. To make a long story short at my first appointment with this guy he tells me he is not sure I have MS because there are not many brain lesions. You could imagine my face. When I asked him if the ones on my spinal cord meant anything he looked at the reports and said now I can be convinced you have MS.
He didn't even look at all of my previous mri's before my appointment. Only the most recent one of my brain. I know that I don't have many brain lesions, but I also know that my spinal cord has many lesions.
Since then I have gotten copies of my records, my appointment was much more indepth than I remember. I know I am forgetful but not this bad. In the report he talked about my gait, babinski's, hoffman's, romberg, and a whole bunch of stuff that I wasn't there for. He checked my reflexes and that is all I remember him doing.
I was angry after the appointment, however now I am livid after reading all of these things that he supposedly did and found problems confirming MS when he questioned my having MS in the first 5 minutes!
