you could try Dr. Teresa Dews at Hillcrest Hospital in Gates Mills OH

She was in with Stanton Hicks, but then went over to Hillcrest to run their pain mangagement department. Gates Mills (it might be listed as Mayfield Heights) is on the upper east edge of Cleveland. I liked her a lot. My insurance changed a couple months after I saw her, and she is not on the plan I have now. I'd like to see her again... have been searching for a Dr. as good as she was since. She is still affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic. I found out about her from another person on the old braintalk forum who was happy with her treatment of their RSD.

My half sister had RSD, and went to Stanton Hicks. They felt he "knew his stuff" but did not like his way with people. So I have not tried to go to him.

I am set up to go to the head physiatrist at OSU in another few weeks. I am not sure if I even want to try another doc. But, one of my other doctors knows this guy and thinks he can help. His name is Dr. Pease and he's at OSU in Columbus. I've been waiting since December to see him. It was more than 6 months to get in. Hope it's worth it.

I'm seriously considering going back to Dr. Dews and just paying for it myself. She wrote up a suggestion list of things to try for my family doctor and my pain management doctor so I didn't have to keep going to Cleveland. Good thing, since I ended up not being able to go back because of the insurance change. She was the most knowlegeable I have gone to so far, and the most open to discussing all kinds of treatments and options... treated me like a person too.

good luck!
