I don't know what part of Florida you are in, but Naples has Dr. Lieberman and I think Dr. Perlmutter both. If hey are too far away they might be able to suggest someone closer.

Now don't get me wrong, I have alot of respect for doctors and I know they are the experts, but what giives when three different doctors have said exactly the opposite of the previous one????? Which one do I believe anyway? I have always stayed with my doctors before, so what is it that I can't seem to find one that I can trust to really be listening and looking out for me. How have you all found your Drs, and do you feel they listen and support you? If anyone lives in sunny FL and would be willing to share any dr. ifo they have, would you PM me? Thanks lots! FG
