Ask what the procedure is if you have a problem outside of the infusion center and if he will respond asap or leave you hanging.

It's an easy procedure for me, go in, get the infusion, get monitored for an hour, and then out the door, blood work every 6 months, MRI after the first six months and then one every 12-18 months unless there's a problem, which there hasn't been in my case.

Please let us know how it goes and good luck!
Thanks for these great ideas! I've copied and pasted them into a list I'm going to email to the neuro's office.
