Referring an MS Patient | Penn Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Program
Christopher Perrone, MD discusses how and when to refer an MS patient to Penn Medicine. He shares what defines a multiple sclerosis expert and what combination of symptoms in a previously unaffected patient would suggest the need for referral.
He focuses on how a PCP can tell the difference between poor compliance and possibly a drug that's waning in efficacy and at what point it is appropriate for a PCP to request a second opinion on a diagnosis for something other than MS if he or she suspects MS is the issue.
