--has long been the head of the Cornell Weill Center for Peripheral Neuropathy, which is one of the world's leading research centers into neuropathy, especially those from immune causes. (You can google up papers that have come out of this group--there are hundreds.)

The Center has recently expanded and "broken up" into two facilities--Dr. Latov and Dr. Chin still head up the center on the Cornell Campus on the east side of Manhattan, and Dr. Brannigan has taken his group up to Columbia Presbyterian by the George Washington Bridge. (The Cornell and Columbia Medical systems are partners.)

I think of all of them, Dr. Chin has the best communication skills (he's also the youngest), and he's very thorough and isn't put off by a challenge.
