I was sent to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion on my illness. I was very impressed with my doctor; John Iraini.---CRS---that may not be the correct spelling of his name.

Anyway, they did a thorough exam and did confirm that yes I have MS and wrote a detailed report confirming so. Much time spent in the exam room and I didn't feel rushed.

IMO from what I went through your long-term care wouldn't really be addressed since you wouldn't be going there again. Just my experience.

Take care.

If we live in Western PA there is a good MS Clinic in Pittsburgh. I see Rock Heyman; exceptional doctor who takes time with you and listens then gives his feelings. 24/7 answering service and during their operating hours M-F you can get in touch with his nurse.
