I need more than can be given as an out patient. He offered the Coma in Germany or Mexico (this was 2 years ago). I'm not ready for that.

The nice thing about being his patient is, when you have questions about how RSD is affecting you or a treatment option you can call him. He returns the call himself and you can get your questions answered. My referring docotor told once you become his patient you are always his patient. His main treatment option is Ketamine that's what he does he research on.

Like most everyone on here we have been through countless doctors. It's nice to know Dr. S's knowledge is only a phone call away. I live 8 hours away in Ohio.

I wish the best of luck during your appt. Sandy is his scheduler and she will be able to give you a better idea how your appt. will go give her call.

I really appreciate your info. on my upcoming PA visit..must say I am apprehensive about it...of course that is to be expected..I am really apprehensive about the insurance being on board... that will make or break this next step...but your information was really helpful in what to expect for the first visit... I have spoken to Sandy and carol before while the appt. was being arranged...my Dr. here insits it be a asap appt. and my RSD seems to be the most aggressive form he has ever treated..that in itself makes me wonder if they can help me in PA. but I am open for the visit..can't hurt to try right?...

Have a great..less painful day..and thxs again..KS
