Neurology. A neurologist or physiatrist evaluates patients to determine the diagnosis, to enroll eligible patients into research studies, to monitor the disease process and the effect of medications, and to make referrals to appropriate specialists. 


Physiatry. In addition to the neurologist, a physiatrist may also evaluate the MS patient. A physiatrist is a physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and who works with patients to develop an overall plan for the patient's rehabilitation.


Rehabilitation. A multidisciplinary rehabilitation assessment is available to all of our MS patients on the third Wednesday of every month in coordination with our outpatient physical therapists and occupational therapists at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center. This comprehensive rehabilitation program is designed to provide assistance with walking, movement, balance and self care.
