MS SPECIALISTS

Navigating the complexities of Multiple Sclerosis requires a strong support system and access to knowledgeable healthcare professionals. For those residing in Southwest Virginia, the recent departure of the area’s remaining MS specialist neurologist has created a significant challenge in accessing specialized care locally.

Understanding this critical need, this page has been thoughtfully compiled by MS patients and individuals within the medical community. It offers a carefully curated list of highly recommended neurologists across Virginia who possess expertise in treating Multiple Sclerosis. This resource aims to bridge the gap in local specialized care and provide a starting point for individuals seeking qualified medical professionals.

This list is a dynamic resource, and we are committed to its ongoing expansion. As more recommended MS specialists are identified, they will be added to ensure this page remains a valuable and up-to-date tool for the MS community in Southwest Virginia and beyond.

University of Virginia

It is important to address and clarify recent information regarding the University of Virginia’s Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Center. Dr. Shin, the newly appointed director of the MS Center as of July 2024, brings specialized expertise in both multiple sclerosis and its associated optical manifestations. His dedicated team at UVA is prepared to provide comprehensive assistance to patients. Contrary to some prior reports, the current appointment availability with Dr. Shin is significantly sooner than the previously indicated 10 to 15-month waiting period. Contact information for Dr. Shin’s team at the University of Virginia is provided below for those seeking care. Please note that UVA does not allow switching between providers, so choosing the right fit initially is important.
