Jeffrey L. Horstmyer, M.D.

The diagnosis and treatment of MS requires a comprehensive approach to patient care. Our understanding of multiple sclerosis is growing at a rapid rate. We are now in a new era of MS care with the availability of several treatment options, which have been clearly shown to inhibit the natural progression of MS. Our ongoing progress and understanding of the disease process, as well as the advances in pharmacology, make the study of MS one of the most fascinating areas of medicine. Dr. Horstmyer’s affiliation with the MS Centers of Florida Foundation furthers his passion to treat and provide comprehensive service for this population.
