What state do you live in? I have seen doctors in a few states and actually my best pain doctor even better then at UCLA or Cleveland Clinic was from a teaching hospital in my home town. The doctor was the director and I would never allow a student but often I have read on here that teaching hospitals are more up to date on procedures. I had called the pain/anestesologist dept and explained that I wanted to see who dealt with rsd. He looked at me as an individual rather then like all with rsd are the same. Some pain doctors I have seen they have what I call their thing and anyone who would come in with rsd they would suggest that. I don't like that because we do all respond different. Unless you are thinking of a specific treatment that is different. By the way welcome to the boards
