The Weill Cornell Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Center is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with MS through comprehensive, personalized care. We bring together leading clinicians and researchers to improve outcomes today while advancing treatments for tomorrow.
Our neurologists develop individualized treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools and the most current therapies. Care may include disease-modifying treatments, symptom management, and coordinated rehabilitation services tailored to each patient’s needs.
Nurses provide education and ongoing support related to medications, symptom management, and daily living with MS. Clinical social workers offer individualized guidance and help patients and families navigate emotional, cognitive, and practical challenges associated with the disease.
Patients benefit from coordinated care with specialists in neuro-ophthalmology, rehabilitative medicine, urology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, and neurosurgery. Physical and cognitive rehabilitation services are integrated into care to support function, independence, and quality of life.
Research is a core mission of the MS Center. Our clinical, translational, and basic science programs focus on limiting disability, restoring function, and advancing new treatments for multiple sclerosis. Patients may have opportunities to participate in clinical trials evaluating novel therapies designed to slow disease progression and promote repair.
Our research spans neuroscience, immunology, genetics, and advanced imaging, including efforts to better visualize axons and myelin and to develop regenerative strategies for MS.
Dr. Gauthier is the utmost empathetic, caring and brilliant professional, and I am so thankful that she is a part of my own MS care team. It’s been almost 2 decades now from walking to wheeling, and she has always given me as much and more information that I have requested to ultimately make my DMT, lifestyle and diet choices on this MS journey. Dr. Gauthier is a truly special human that I was lucky enough to meet from the start of my MS diagnosis and subsequent journey.
