I'm not going to get into a my doc is better than your doc scenerio, but I am going to provide what I know about him and I am also compiling a list of questions that hopefully he'll find the time to answer.

I welcome any/all questions that anyone would like added to my email, either privately or posted.

thankyou, Dee

Dear Dr. Leverone,
You have helped me with my CRPS/RSD more than any other doctor I’ve seen, and you know I’ve seen quite a few. Your ketamine infusions have been a great service to those of us needing them. I am trying to help spread the word of your service and was hoping you could help by answering a few questions to ease the mind of those not familiar with you and your practice.

1. When and where did you first become aware of CRPS/RSD?


2. Are there other medical conditions that you treat? ( not counting RSD/ketamine)


3. Where is your practice located and how can patients contact you?


4. What are your thoughts on the ketamine coma done in other countries?


5. If someone is newly diagnosed, should they go straight to ketamine infusion or should they go through the long list of treatments ie blocks, stimulators, pumps, meds, etc., first?

6. As memory serves me ( and it isn’t that great lol) isn’t the dosage you give dependant on the patients severity, weight and other factors?


7. One fellow RSD’er was told that RSD does not spread, your thoughts on that?


Thank you so much for taking the time to help not only me, but for those who may decide to seek your services. You’ve been a Godsend for me and I cannot express my gratitude enough.
