Also for myself I had traveled out of state for a lot of specialists but one of my best doctors I found on my own with some insight from this forum. People here had stated if there was a teaching hospital near that they often are more up to date. Now I did not see a student of course but explained to the department my problem and they refered me to what I was looking for was a pain doctor/anestesolgist who even over Cleveland Clinic for ex was better. So if you have a similar place you may want to call the neuro dept. Good luck as I know how hard it is to find a good doctor
