Doctors who treat Multiple Sclerosis are called neurologists. They have specialized training in the nervous system and the brain. Neurosurgeons are doctors who operate on the brain or the spinal cord. Ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist in your area. From my experience, if you need a diagnosis go to a large teaching hospital. After you have a diagnosis, go to a neurologist close enough to your home so that an appointment is not a tremendous drain on you physically and emotionally. Find a Doctor Who will LISTEN to you and your caregiver. If your doctor will not listen to both of you, move on until you find one. A good neurologist and a good relationship with that doctor is the key to LIVING with MS.
