Both.
I wanted to be treated by the best, and by a facility that was nearby.
I live in Baltimore City, not very far from
Hopkins, but I wanted
up to date and experimental therapies available at a facility
that does research .
I did not want an individual, practicing neuro,
that was not '
in the loop' for latest info.
I also wanted testing available without middle men.
If I'd lived in NYC, I'd have gone to
Cornell-Weill,
or towards the middle of the country,
Jack Miller Center.
The
Mayo Clinic
does not seem to be a #1 choice
from reports that I've seen.
But, any port in a storm.
I'd think
any major teaching hospital with a medical school or university-that does research in neurological disorders -would suffice.
