Those would be:

Sandeep D. Amin, MD http://rush.photobooks.com/directory...ict_id=0005530 AND

Timothy R. Lubenow, MD http://rush.photobooks.com/directory...ict_id=0002270 (He does look a little imperious, doesn't he?) AS WELL AS

Renata Variakojis, MD, Palos Park IL (708-631-5550), about whom I was able to learn very little.

That and I concur that this "expert" at Northwestern was clearly incompetent if he didn't look at your toenails, unless he was so hide-bound that he was reflexively adhering to the current IASP diagnostic criteria for CRPS, and from what I can tell most of the people who do that significantly supplement their income through defense/insurance company expert witness work!
