Is there a Cleveland Clinic in your area? They will usually set up an appointment within 2-3 days.
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms?

No Cleveland Clinic that I know of. I am in Maine and we have a significant shortage of MS specialists. Particularly in the Northern/Western part of the state. We have the highest per capital incidence of MS in the US (based on self reporting) but few specialists.
I am in southern Maine and there are two major hospitals, only one has an MS center and it only has a single Dr with an MS specialty.
I am trying to find a Dr in Massachusetts that may get me in sooner.

If you have the financial resources, it may be in your best interest to travel to one. They will see you within days of your call to them.
