I live in NJ so it's not too far a drive and my husband can drive me. My immune system is crumbling and I read on the CRPS Inst of Manhattan site that they may see a link between rsd and another autoimmune disorder and something they are using to help treat it. Anyway, I hope they can help. Have a good night.
I called and was told they do not accept my insurance; fees would all be applied to my out of network benefits and the estimated cost for an initial visit was more than $1,000. Most importantly, I'm not sure this place is legit. It appears to be an umbrella organization for a spine center!! That's what I discovered at least. The doctors themselves may be good, but how much do they really know CRPS.
You will be MUCH better off finding a quality pain management specialist at a major hospital like HSS and St. Lukes Roosevelt where they have a dedicated team treating CRPS patients and follow/offer CRPS treatments.
