The Elliot Lewis Center

The Elliot Lewis Center is excited to welcome Rebecca Gillani, MD, PhD, to our team! Dr. Gillani, a board-certified neurologist and multiple sclerosis specialist with more than 10 years of experience, will begin seeing patients in September. Appointments are now available for scheduling.

Patients with multiple sclerosis often experience a worsening of symptoms in warmer weather. This worsening, brought on by heat and/or humidity is called Uhthoff’s phenomena. Even short periods of overheating can result in worsening of symptoms. People with greater physical disability may be more affected and it may take longer for their symptoms to resolve.
