MS & Neuromuscular Center of Excellence

What MS & Neuromuscular Center of Excellence does

MS & Neuromuscular Center of Excellence (MSN) is a private, single-specialty neurology practice founded in 2015 and headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, serving the greater Tampa Bay area. The practice focuses on complex neurological conditions, with Multiple Sclerosis as its core competency and additional specialization in Myasthenia Gravis, peripheral neuropathy and vein disease, and hereditary ATTR amyloidosis polyneuropathy. Clinical care is delivered by two board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologists (Dr. Jean-Raphael Schneider, trained at Tufts and Dent Neurologic Institute; Dr. Dinesh Sivakolundu, trained at Yale and Weill Cornell) and two nurse practitioners, supported by nursing, research, and physician assistant staff, with multilingual coverage in English, Spanish, French, and Tamil.

The practice's product surface combines outpatient neurology consultations, diagnostic testing (EMG, nerve conduction studies, MRI interpretation), and a 6-chair on-site infusion suite that administers eight FDA-approved biologic therapies — including Ocrevus, Briumvi, Tysabri, Rituxan, Vyvgart, Ultomiris, Uplizna, and Vyepti — for MS, NMOSD, myasthenia gravis, and migraine. Additional offerings include BOTOX for spasticity/dystonia, clinical trial enrollment for MS and MG, and patient education programs (NeuroWellness Talks webinars, Brain Health Masterclass). The practice operates on the athenahealth cloud EHR platform and holds recognition from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as a Partner in MS Care.

MSN generates revenue through insurance-billed clinical services (commercial payers, Medicare, Medicaid) for consultations, diagnostics, and recurring infusion treatments, supplemented by clinical trial participation fees. The practice functions as an independent partner within the Nira Medical Clinical Research Network, which connects it to research infrastructure, physician mentorship, and a 15,000+-patient neurology platform. Go-to-market combines direct patient appointments, physician referrals (including second opinions), community engagement (Walk MS, open houses), and PR/media exposure, with a planned second clinic in Lutz/Tampa scheduled for Summer 2026.

Comparable specialty neurology services but embedded in a regional health system with broader inpatient and subspecialty coverage. https://www.adventhealth.com
• Tampa General Hospital - Neuroscience Institute: Academic-affiliated neurology and neurosurgery program in the Tampa Bay market. Competes for the same MS, neuromuscular, and headache patients, with advantages of hospital infrastructure and a broader clinical trial portfolio. https://www.tgh.org

Direct peers

• Rocky Mountain MS Clinic: Independent, neurology specialty clinic focused on MS and related disorders, offering diagnostics, infusion therapy, and clinical research. Closely comparable private-practice operating model and patient mix to MSN. https://www.rmmsc.com
• Dent Neurologic Institute: Large multi-specialty neurology practice in Buffalo, NY offering MS, neuromuscular, neuroimaging, and infusion services. Closely comparable in specialty mix, subspecialty depth, and infusion-centric model — and notably where Dr. Schneider completed his Neuroimaging fellowship. https://dentneurologic.com
• Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders (MIND): Large independent neurology group practice in Michigan providing MS, neuromuscular, headache, and infusion services under a multi-specialty physician model. Comparable scale, specialty focus, and infusion-service revenue mix. https://www.mindonline.org

Broad incumbents

Comparable patient focus and clinical research posture, but operating at significantly larger academic scale. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org
• Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis (Cleveland Clinic): Pre-eminent MS specialty center within the Cleveland Clinic health system. Comparable patient population (MS, neuroimmunology) and care model, but operates inside a much larger integrated delivery system with broader research infrastructure. https://my.clevelandclinic.org

Others

• Saint Luke's Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute: Hospital-based neuroscience specialty program offering neurology, infusion, and clinical research for MS and related conditions. NOT a direct competitor geographically (Kansas City) but provides a useful benchmark for neurology specialty economics and infusion throughput. https://www.saintlukeskc.org

Emerging players

• Banner Sun Health Research Institute: Neurology research and clinical care organization focused on neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. Comparable in its clinical-trial-driven service model and overlap on MS/neuroimmunology patient care. https://www.bannerhealth.com
