About Us

The body’s different systems interact in complex ways. At the Multiple Sclerosis Center, part of the Ayer Neuroscience Institute Neuroimmunology Department, our neuroimmunology specialists understand this complexity and can help diagnose and treat you. 

When you are diagnosed with a serious condition such as multiple sclerosis, waiting to see a specialist can cause anxiety. It is our goal to make sure that you are seen quickly and feel comfortable with our team of providers and staff. We aim to make your visits as easy as possible, providing all necessary services in the same location. Not only do you have the team at the Multiple Sclerosis Center to support and guide you, but also the entire Ayer Neuroscience Institute is available to provide you with comprehensive, coordinated care. 

The Center has been designated a Center for Comprehensive MS Care by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society after a rigorous application process. Our breadth of services earned us this prestigious national designation. We also have a collaboration with Advocating for Families with Multiple Sclerosis (AFMS) that has allowed the Center to connect with the local MS community and raise awareness. AFMS has provided insight, helping us provide even better care to our patients.
