Dr. Steven Beall, director of the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Centre of Michigan is an expert in both diagnosis and treatment of MS. He has 40 years of experience as an academic and general neurologist specializing in MS. He graduated at the top of his class in Biomedical Science, Summa Cum Laude, at Texas A&M and in the top 6th of his class Alpha Omega Alpha at the University of Texas Medical School. He has published 38 scientific articles on MS and has given 156 national, international, and patient group talks on MS and has written a section on Neurology in an Internal Medicine Textbook.

​

Dr, Beall was awarded a medical staff fellowship at the National Institutes of Health in 1984. His work at the NIH allowed him to win a second MS fellowship at the California Institute of Technology. Seven years of scientific study at these leading scientific institutes in the U.S. taught Dr. Beall to look at complex neurological problems with scientific precision and the value of intellectual honesty. 

​

He then studied under Dr. Donald Paty (the recipient of the first World MS Society Charcot Award) for 10 years at the University of British Columbia (UBC) as a faculty member of the world's largest MS Centre where he helped take care of 4,000 MS patients. Dr. Beall and his colleagues at UBC received $1,000,000.00 to tackle MS at the molecular genetic level aimed at the genes of the center of the immune system and Dr. Beall performed over 20,000 neurological exams under supervision of Dr. Paty learning a precise neurological exam and to spot the earliest signs of MS on MRI leading to a diagnosis at its earliest inception thus stopping it in its tracks.

​

Dr. Beall has worked with the largest neurological private practice in East Detroit developing a practice of approximately 1,500 MS patients and pre-MS patients from the Mid-Michigan and Detroit areas. During this nine year time period, he performed another 26,000 meticulous neurological exams with Kurtzke scores, took code stroke/emergency call one out of four weeks 24/7 and general neurology call five days a week every week at six acute care hospitals and three general rehab hospitals. 

​

Approximately twelve years ago, Dr. Beall decided to take care of the underserved patients of Michigan as part of the Michigan Rural Healthcare Preservation network. He has developed a practice of approximately 600 additional patients and has performed another approximately 21,000 meticulous neurological exams with Kurtzke scores along with 5,361 simultaneous examinations on 13 staff controls.
