At the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center, we provide personalized treatment and coordinated care. Learn what you can expect when you visit our comprehensive center.
Making an Appointment
Your child’s pediatrician or other specialist can refer your child to our center for evaluation and care. Once we have the referral, our office will contact you to schedule an appointment.
Our nationally recognized specialists also provide online second opinions for families. They will review your case and answer specific questions about a diagnosis and treatment options. It’s an easy, convenient and secure way to ensure your child is receiving the right care. Our program coordinator will guide you through the process.
Preparing for Your Visit
Before scheduling the comprehensive evaluation, our program coordinator will contact you by phone to talk about your child’s symptoms. They will discuss your child’s medical history and any past treatments. The program coordinator will also collect results from previous tests. This could include lab work and neuroimaging scans.
These details help the team decide if our center is the best fit for your child. If it is, the program coordinator will schedule your child’s appointment for as soon as possible. If our program isn’t the best fit for your child, they will be fast tracked to see other specialists at Cincinnati Children’s who can provide the care your child needs.
