MS Clinic
Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that
attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain,
spinal cord, and optic nerves. Once the disease is diagnosed, specialists
and health care professionals at Banner Good Samaritan's MS Clinic provide
comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for multiple sclerosis
(MS).
MS clinics are an increasingly popular option for people seeking
MS treatment. At Banner Good Samaritan’s MS Clinic, we offer a multidisciplinary
team based approach to treatment that allows a person living with MS
to receive their needed health care services in one location, at one
visit.
The Multidisciplinary clinic, directed by Dr.
Barry Hendin, offers
a team of certified professionals. A team of neurologists, nurses, neuropsychologists,
occupational, speech and physical therapist with expertise in MS provide
patient care. People with MS may be eligible to participate in selected
clinical trials because of the center’s extensive clinical research activities
through Phoenix Neurological Associates.
The MS Clinic is once a month,
typically the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
