i'm going to look into appointments with the docs you like @ b&w & at the pain center.

i'll keep you posted as to the outcome.

btw, i researched about 11 nyc neuros listed on the PN association's website (primarily ratings by patients on Vitals, Health Grades & Rate MDs) and only 2 have a 3 star or better rating). certainly gives one pause! makes me think PN is a subspecialty favored by docs who possibly graduated way down in their class? i actually saw three of these neuros during my 15 year quest and reading the reviews showed me that i wasn't alone in my negative experience(s).

the best PN Doc I saw was @ johns hopkins but alas another trip to maryland would be a logistical minefield.
