Yeh maybe I got lucky with the physiatrist I have. I actually researched her and questioned what her education really did. She has several more letters on the back of her name, and she did get extra education for pain management, which is what she specializes in. Also that holistic approach she believes in as much as possible. She is definately integrated medicine. Wish there were more of these kinds of doctors. I think asking the physiatrist what they do by phone maybe would be the best way for people to find out about their local doctors. Also in my community, there is a doctors referral list, that tells about each doctor in my area. Take care all. ginnie
