Thank you for the responses so far. I was interested in hearing about Pete's doc....however, the down side is, paying out of pocket is, unfortunately, not an option for us...so we have to find a doc that takes insurance.

Have been in contact with Mayo..but trying to get a definitive answer has not been easy so far. I called the pain center and the receptionist says..."RSD/CRPS specialist???"....(I told her what it meant)...her response to me was like I was from Neptune.

Even if we find someone at Mayo, it still would be nice to hear from someone who may have had experience with these or other docs....I have enough experience with Mayo to know sometimes they are great...sometimes a disaster. It is not a sure thing.

Yes, I am in MN, there very well could be excellent and knowledgeable docs elsewhere in MN.

I am still interested to hear what docs others have seen, who they feel have a good handle on RSD treatment.
