There are also alot of VCU physicians all over the state of Va, from Fredericksburg, to South Hill. Finding a qualified Physician should not be hard at all! And you are more likely now, to find one closer to your home and only have to travel for your IVIG infusions.

I also work for VCU so this is how I know all this information. I wish you the best and good luck with your decision on where to move and whom to connect with medically!!!
Hi ablack! May I ask who your husband sees? I live in the Richmond area and seeing a second neuro-ophthalmologist next week for a second opinion (for MG).

Thanks!
