TiffanyC, Dr. Kirkpatrick in Tampa Fla. does specialize in RSD and runs the Research Foundation for RSD/CRPS. He takes patients much quicker(2weeks instead of 2years!) than Dr. S. I have seen both and both know RSD and are known as experts in the field. w/c might not want him to see one of them because they will give an opinion they might not like. He can still go for evaluation at Dr. and pay for it himself and give w/c a copy of report and receipt for them to pay. I think it's just important to look up either a neurologist or an anesthesiologist in your area that specializes in RSD. Sometimes they may specialize in a couple of things like RSD, CP, fibromyalgia. My pain Dr. has treated patients with RSD and is up to date with changes. Or check and see if there is a Dr. in your area that has done recent seminars on RSD. I know i looked up current articles written about RSD and checked out authors and where they were located. Good luck on your search.
