--is Dr. Russel Chin, who not only had done a lot of research work in autoimmune and other neuropathies, but actually has a sense of humor for a neurologist (a very rare quality).

He absolutely gave me the most thorough physical exam--not just neurological--I ever had the first time I went there (almost two hours).

Indeed, though, the waiting lists there are quite long, and the doctors there don't take every insurance plan. But I think anyone trained at Cornell-Weill/Columbia Presbyterian and having the resources of those facilities would be a reasonable person to see. (You can request to be put on a cancellation list, if you have the capability of dropping everything and going in there on very short notice.)
