There is another MS specialist in the practice and he is very popular and well regarded so maybe I can just request an appointment with him? The only issue is that both neuro's are booked at least 3-4 months out.
Your Primary Care Physician could give you a referral to another Neurologist or your Health plan should have a list of in network Neurologists that you may be able to contact for an appointment.

If you decide to get a second opinion make sure to have all testing related to your CIS diagnosis ready to take with you.
