I'm Bummed

I had an appointment with my neuro today, and he told me that he is moving in January to Charlottesville, VA. I cried. I've been seeing him for three years now, and he's been the best neurologist I've ever had! :Bawling: :hissyfit:

He explained that two of the other neurologists in the practice are going to divide up the MS patients.

If anyone lives in or near Charlottesville and is looking for a great neurologist, his name is Christopher Scherer, MD.

Just don't put off finding one soon...you don't want to be without one!

Well that sucks. It's so hard to find a good neuro - it's a shame he is moving.

Two of the partners are going to divide up the MS patients. So, I'll go to whomever they pick.

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.

Jappy :hug:

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.
