Daniel Kantor, MD: Advocate for NMO Education and Awareness

Dr. Daniel Kantor is an excellent physician and a wonderful advocate for his patients.  Dr. Kantor has assumed a more extensive advocacy role by promoting the need for awareness, education and research for neuromyelitis optica.  Through Dr. Kantor’s efforts, the Governor of Florida on March 9, 2009 signed a proclamation recognizing neuromyelitis optica and making March NMO Awareness Month.  We applaud Dr. Kantor for this accomplishment on behalf of his patients and the many people who have this challenging disorder.  Dr. Kantor is the Director of the Comprehensive MS & Migraine Center at the University of Florida & Shands Jacksonville.  He also serves as the President-Elect of the Florida Society of Neurology.
