Dear MS Patients and Care Givers,

It is with great pleasure that I announce and to personally inform you of the openings of the Multiple Sclerosis Center of California (MSCC) and Research Group.

As always, my primary goal of establishing this MS Center and clinic is to provide care and state of the art medical evaluation, consultation and continuous neurological care for patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis and other Demyelinating diseases along with their care-givers as well.

I will be seeing patients personally at the Center. My outstanding staffs from MS-specialized nurses to the front-office staff are dedicated and available to help you in any possible way including assisting with making appointments, insurance, authorizations and obtaining a copy of the medical records. There are reliable and easy accesses to an infusion center, State of the art Radiology services (MRI, MRS, DTI, and Brain Atrophy Measurements and ...etc), Physical therapy, Spasticity clinic, Neuro-Cognitive evaluation and therapy and laboratory services available at or in very near proximity of the MS Center. At this time, the MS Center is open and available to serve you with the first available appointment.

As I have done over all my years in practice, I will also continue with my research and multiple clinical trials in MS in order to provide qualified patients with cutting edge and innovative treatments including oral and infusible medications for Multiple Sclerosis. I am also continuing my educational programs including community out-reach and educational events for physicians and allied health care providers, MS community, their care-givers, MS support groups and extensive collaborative work with National MS Society.

Please do not hesitate to contact the office to set up an appointment for follow up, consultation or with any questions or concerns. I am very excited to share this new opportunity with you and as always, I look forward to seeing you soon.
