Changing my Neurologist

Has anyone got any advice on how I would go about changing my Neurologist. I live in Rainham in Essex and anyone who knows the area know our local hospital is queens. I’ve been unhappy with my Neurologist from day one I’ve always felt that she has no empathy or compassion. I feel that she may be offering me the best medication etc for my situation but she is very much a no nonsense your just a number not a person attitude. I thought it was just me but at my last appointment whilst waiting to see her another lady was chatting with me and expressed exactly the same opinion of her. I recently asked if I could have two separate MRIs as a 90 minute scan means lots of sedation as I have severe claustrophobia and I felt that two 45 mins ones I may be able to cope better with. She just disregarded this as a stupid idea and said no not possible. Yet I’ve spoke last year to other people on here who have done just that and their neurologist was happy to do that for them. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks in advance

@wendyhills , have a quiet word with your MS Nurse. They'll know what's going on and may have suggestions for an alternative Neuro. It's your prerogative to seek a second opinion. And, it's all dependent on how far you're willing to travel. If you were willing to travel to London, you could be under the team at Barts........
