"Neurologic conditions can be scary, and neuroimmunologic conditions even more so. It's easy to feel in the dark about what is happening. I approach patient care with just as much attention to empowering education as I do to disease management. I strive to ""turn the lights on"" so people know more about their conditions, what to expect, and (most importantly) what we can do about them. If we ever meet, don't be surprised if I quote John Steinbeck or offer advice on your next mobile device.". Dr. Hartsell is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tumefactive Multiple Sclerosis. His top areas of expertise are Neuromyelitis Optica, Optic Neuritis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS).
