I have been to a few neurologists in the area and this is the best. I've seen both Dr. Schneider and ARNP Dawn Rush-Wilde. They never make me feel rushed and always listen to my concerns. The office staff is also helpful and nice. I know that several staff members are bilingual, but speak English very clearly. If you're looking for a neurologist, I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Dinesh Sivakolundu of MS & Neuromuscular Center of Excellence in Clearwater, a neuroimmunologist who specializes in MS and complex autoimmune disorders of the nervous system, joined the NR Times podcast to talk about the parts of MS you can't see — cognition, fatigue, and mood. He explains why these symptoms get missed so often, what his research is uncovering about how MS changes the way the brain delivers and uses energy, and why a stable MRI doesn't always mean a patient is doing well.
