I presently live in southern California, but am in the process of searching for a new neurologist; preferably at an MS treatment center where I can receive comprehensive treatment that manages all aspects of therapy and where all involved healthcare providers—from neurologist to physical therapist to dietician, etc.—communicate between each other to ensure optimal, integrated care.
At the center/ hospital:
• Neurologist
o Openness to evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies with conventional Western medicine therapies
o Acknowledges the importance of the body/mind connection
o Communicates with other HCPs outside the hospital or center
• Neuro-Ophthalmologist
• Urologist
• MRI/bloodwork
Potential HCPs outside the Hospital
• PT/OT
• Speech therapist
• Orthotics clinic
• Psychiatrist for patient/caretaker
• Dietician etc.
• Infusion Center
• GP
• HBOT therapist
I have accepted that this may require a move—potentially across the country—but I must do whatever it takes to get the help I need.
Do you have any recommendations?
