A quick check on Mapquest tells me that Charlottesville, VA is only 2 hours away from Salem. The closest Neuro to me is 2 hours away (I live in the sticks!)

C'mon, if you like him that much, drive the 2 hours once or twice a year. I'd think it would be worth the trip.

Maryann know how you feel. In my first 10yrs. of ms I had one of
the most understandable neuro's I think you could find. I also cried when I found out that he was leaving to take on administrative work.

Actually he was the one who dx me after all the ten years of fighting the
other drs.

Yes I was supposed to get his partner then they brought in another
dr. I felt OK because I didn't like his partner. Well only me, the new replacement was not any better. Stayed with him, there wasn't much of a
choice where I lived.

Hoping all will go well for you.

Good idea, but it won't work. I've just begun Tysabri (first infusion was yesterday), and my infusion center is in the building of my neuro's clinic. I think it would make things too difficult.

Plus, I found out that my neuro who is leaving is going to be working at a hospital there.

I think I need to stay where I am for now.
