Hi there. You will get lots of support here, by the way.

In addition to Loretta's suggestions, check out something else I've been pushing lately:

If you go to the search engine for the American Board of Pain Management, the group that accredidates pain mgt. residencies in the U.S., also runs the most rigorous cetification process for pain management physicians. Its public directory of "Diplomates" is found at http://www.association-office.com/ab...dir/search.cfm Just plug in the city, scroll down to the state, and go.

Hope it's useful. I know that it does a good job of pulling up many of the best docs in my area. Sorry, no guarrantees as to bedside manner.

Mike
