Multiple Sclerosis Clinic

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that causes your immune system to attack the outer coating of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The MS Clinic provides care and education for patients with MS and their families. The MS care team includes neurologists, a nurse practitioner, registered nurses, and administrative staff.  These health care professionals partner with you to:

• Confirm your MS diagnosis.
• Provide education about MS and your treatment options.
• Assist you in getting started on an MS treatment.
• Work with you to monitor your response to treatment
• Help you manage your MS symptoms

How do I prepare for an appointment?

• Arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.
• Bring your Provincial Health Card.
• Bring your medications or a complete list of your medications, including vitamins and herbal remedies.

What will happen at my appointment?

The doctor will review your medical history and perform a neurological examination.  You may be asked to take some tests.

Will there be any follow-up after my appointment?

After your first visit, the number and timing of follow-up appointments will be determined by your neurologist.  Most patients will have an appointment once a year, in-person or by telephone. You will be notified of your appointment by mail. The appointment letter will tell you what type of appointment you have been scheduled for.
