Do you have a large teaching/research hospital? Look for one with a neuromuscular specialist doing research in MG. Most local neuros have never seen MG, don't recognize it and don't know how to treat it. Don;t give up. trying searching on the internet for a more experienced MG doctor. Ask questions to the office such as " how many other MG patients does he have?" Does he have experience with IVIG, Plasmapharessis and treating MG crisis?"

You have a right to know his level of expertise before paying to see him.

good luck
