I need help.
My aunt lives in MA and she has some sort of inflammatory process going on and needs a neuro.
She's a nurse and she doesn't want to deal with the long drawn out guessing game.
She wants a neuro who has been practicing for more than a few years and is in Boston or the surrounding area.

Is there anyone here who is seeing a good neuro or has had a good experience during the diagnosis process in Boston?
She's not picky about what hospital or medical center the doc works out of, she just wants one that knows what he/she is doing, who will be thorough and has a clue.

Any leads would be most appreciated!

You know I can't help ya RW, but I just wanted to say Hi and hope someone comes along w/some info for ya.

Dr Edward Wolpow, Mt Auburn Hospital, Cambridge, MA - he's been my neuro for about 35years - yup - he's older then me !!! A very good neurologist - otherwise there's Dr James Lehrich at Mass General -

Bumping this up for more input!

I have heard good thing about James Lehrich, Ive got a good one in
Western Mass. but someone recommended Dr. L. if I needed further
help. good luck River!

Dr Lehrich is really very capable but has absolutely no "bedside manner" - you are there on time for his appointments and that is PRECISELY when he opens his door - Dr Wolpow was the first neuro I saw when I went into the ER of Mass General - I had gradually gone numb on my right side from my face to my toes - to make a long and painful story short - they had aides that didn't speak a word of English and I was wheeled down to the bowels of MG for some tests and just left there in a dank hall with my chart on my lap - finally I opened it hoping to see where I was supposed to be and it said suggested mutiple sclerosis all across it - I had no idea what MS was and I freaked out - finally had balance test where they squrt water in your ears to see how fast your eyes stop spinning along with your stomach and was wheeled back to my room - where I really freaked out - Dr Wolpw came in on his day off to sit on the bed and hold my hand and tell me about MS - it was the kindest thing he could have done and I thought right then that if someone in my little family had to have a disease - it should be me as I could deal with it - I thanked God right there and then - and also Dr Wolpow !!
