About Fara Tan

Some credentials are common; some change what a practice can offer. Fara Tan carries one of the rare ones: she is a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse through the Multiple Sclerosis Nurses International Certification Board, a distinction held by a small fraction of nursing professionals nationwide, making her a cornerstone of MS care at Clinical Neurology Specialists.

Collaborating with founder and medical director Dr. Leo Germin, Fara provides whole-person nursing care for adults living with multiple sclerosis, patients focused on secondary stroke prevention, and people managing chronic neurological conditions that demand attentive, continuous partnership.

Her preparation runs deep. Fara completed both her undergraduate and master's degrees in nursing at Loma Linda University School of Nursing in Loma Linda, California, and earned her post-master's Family Nurse Practitioner certification at Maryville University. She is dual board-certified — by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board — and holds the AGCNS-BC clinical nurse specialist credential alongside her FNP-C, a combination pairing systems-level clinical expertise with hands-on primary-care skill.

Fara practises full time, and her patients know her for what credentials alone cannot convey: the steady follow-through that chronic neurological disease requires. Medication monitoring, relapse triage, lifestyle and risk-factor coaching, and the unhurried explanations that turn a frightening diagnosis into a manageable plan. At this practice, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are not a substitute for expert care; they are an extension of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Fara Tan

Training, scope of practice, and how to book.

What does MSCN certification mean?
Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse, awarded through the Multiple Sclerosis Nurses International Certification Board. It is a specialty credential held by a small fraction of nursing professionals nationwide, and it signifies dedicated expertise in the continuity care that multiple sclerosis specifically requires over years.
Will I see Fara instead of a neurologist?
Alongside one, not instead of one. Fara works in collaboration with the practice's board-certified neurologists, and for MS specifically with founder and medical director Dr. Leo Germin. Advanced practice providers here extend expert care rather than substituting for it, and diagnosis and therapy decisions are made jointly.
What does she help with day to day?
The work chronic neurological disease actually consists of: medication monitoring, relapse triage, lifestyle and risk-factor coaching, and the unhurried explanations that turn a frightening diagnosis into a manageable plan. For MS patients that continuity is frequently the difference between a plan on paper and a plan that holds.
Where did she train?
Fara completed both her undergraduate and master's degrees in nursing at Loma Linda University School of Nursing in California, and earned her post-master's Family Nurse Practitioner certification at Maryville University. She is dual board-certified and additionally holds the AGCNS-BC clinical nurse specialist credential.
Does she manage MS infusion therapy?
The practice operates no infusion suite, so infusion-based disease-modifying therapy is coordinated with outside providers. What happens here is selection, prior authorisation, monitoring and interpretation — and Fara's role in that continuity is what keeps the plan coherent while the infusion itself happens elsewhere.
Which office does she see patients at?
Both the Las Vegas and Henderson offices, which hold the same records so alternating between them restarts nothing. For MS patients in particular the shorter drive compounds, because care runs across many visits over years rather than concluding after one appointment.

Emergency & crisis resources: Clinical Neurology Specialists is not an emergency service. For stroke symptoms, a seizure lasting more than five minutes or any medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
