It's been 4 years since I posted on this thread, so I'd just like to add my current opinion.

Dr. Sharon Lynch is wonderful! Yes; she is busy. I've sometimes had to wait an hour or longer for a scheduled appointment.

But, she is NOT too busy to spend time with her patients. That is likely why she sometimes runs late. She always takes time to answer whatever questions I have. Either about my own MS. Or, about current research in the field. Or whatever.

Her memory is impeccable! During the first appointment, although she only received my many, many past records a day or two prior to the appointment, she knew ALL about me and my case, my many MRI's, my initial probably dx at Mayo Clinic, my eventual MS dx at my Wichita neurologist's office, etc.

She was thorough. When she questioned my neurologist's MS dx, and wondered whether Mayo Clinic's initial suspicion of CNS Lupus might have been correct, she re-did some tests, and was able to confirm that I have MS.

Dr. Lynch is also very wiling to work with other doctors. Since I live 3 hours away, some of my things are done more locally, with either my PCP (primary care provider), or my former neurologist. Or, she is also willing to do things, like call in rx, over the phone. Whichever I prefer. I've utilized both methods.

Her nurse (Sharon Garcia) is also awesome. In my experience, she was not good at returning phone calls in a timely manner. For the last couple of years, however, I email her instead. And, she often responds in less than half a day, even for non-emergency kinds of things.

I would highly recommend Dr. Lynch.
