Recently, Mr. Joe Huntsman, the new CEO and owner of the Roanoke Area MS Center and Blue Ridge Neurology in Christiansburg was kind enough to answer some of the more common questions we have been hearing at the MS Alliance of Virginia regarding Dr. Jill Cramer’s retirement and subsequent purchase of her practice by BrookWell Infusion.

MSAV – When will the new neurologists and other providers be available to see patients, and how can appointments be scheduled?
Mr. Huntsman – The new neurology full team will begin to see patients in September and appointments are already being scheduled. However, we are providing infusions for several insurance plans this summer (already).
MSAV – What is the procedure for patients with existing referrals or those who have previously received care at the MS Center to return for appointments?
Mr. Huntsman – If a patient has received care at the Roanoke MS Center in Salem or Blue Ridge Associates in Neurology in Christiansburg in the past, we do not need a new referral unless insurance requires it.
