I Googled a little and found several hospitals with MDS specialists or teams of doctors. Dupage hospital being the closest and most convenient for me. But I am willing to travel anywhere within the Chicago are to get the best MDS specialist.
I live in Naperville, which is around 35 miles southwest of Chicago. I know that at least three large university hospitals have MDS teams.
I am just seeking input from someone here that has done the research and can recommend someone or some hospital.
Thanks for your help!

We lived for 27 years in Oak Brook (we retired 3 years ago due to the PD), and after years at Northwestern, we turned to Dr. Christopher Goetz at Rush's Movement Disorder Clinic. Brightest man I've ever met. I learned more from him in 30 minutes than I had in all the previous 5 years of visits to his doc at Northwestern. It takes about 6 months to get in to see Dr. Goetz, but I cannot recommend him enough. Insist on seeing him, although you will see people from his entire team. That's just the way it goes at a teaching institution. He is really into research, too, so don't be surprised if he asks if you want to participate in some of it. He is worth the wait, believe me.
Good luck.
