i would call your local MS society and ask for a list of their referring drs.
then see if an MS specialist is on it.
some drs will grant you a 15" get acquainted appt. worth asking about.

i live in denver and see an MS specialist here.
another neuro was also highly recommended to me and i saw him thinking i might have to switch. it was a good visit and he said he'd take me as a pt but also said my dr had more experience with MS than he did.

calling local hosp's was also a good idea.
asking your pcp for a referral might give you some info.
calling your local teaching hospital might yield some info but i generally don't like teaching hosp's for care. underlings docs do the care and they're not experienced, nor can they always have good bedside manners.

if you know any nurses ask them as they're a gold mine of great info. they have the inside scoop.
