Hi my pain managment doctor i see now is dr waghamare i used to do to dr gossey of whom i was not happy with as a pm but as a neurologist i liked him. With dr Wags as i call him he spends alot of time with you, hes conservative likes to try alternative methods he has spoken here in buffalo at an rsd support group so hes pretty up to date on new treatments etc. He also has cold laser therapy another alternative and teaches on the scs. I just love him i switched to him six months ago, after my other pm didnt do a thing for me. I am currently not on pain meds. I use a tens unit of which no one else offered me. I havent heard anyone that wasnt satisfied with him. Heres the link to his office with other info as well. What i like the most is i see him and not an assistant. He spent about 45 minutes with me on my first appointment.

He has a couple locations
I cannot post links my post count isnt high.





Hopes this helps those who are looking in The buffalo western new york area.

Hi, I know this is an older post. I have been recently diagnosed with RSD. I live on Long Island and I am looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable on RSD. Thanks for your help.

I was diagnosed in October. I had shoulder surgery in April and the swelling and pain never went away. I don't know how you feel about going into the city but I am going to Columbia. I commute from the NY/NJ border into the city. My surgeon referred me after thinking there was some nerve related issue inspite of a negative EMG and when I went, I had my diagnosis pretty immediately along with my treatment. So far I have had 2 stellate ganglion blocks with a few hours of relief with the first one. I see Dr. Visco and Dr. Smith. I am happy with both so far. Great bedside manner!!!

Hello, im seeking a good RSD Dr. I been to about 20 and none understand the pain and suffer with RSD!

Annie,
I live in the NYC area. I was wondering who the Dr you are referring to is. Thanks!
Be well,
Jen

If anyone is looking for RSD treatment in the Rochester, NY area, the Pain Treatment Center at Univ of Rochester Medical Center now does outpatient Ketamine treatments. The nurses there are the most compassionate and caring that we have ever met. If you are interested in Ketamine specifically, you will need to see Dr. Raj Bala Thakur.

Thanks so much for recommending Dr Wags! I took my friend S (almost full body RSD; failed SCS & everything else) last week to see him. He is SO different from other docs! He was obviously willing to be an advocate for the patient, believed everything she said, didn't make her go through her whole history of symptoms and treatments (22 years worth, it would've taken the whole appointment). I told him we'd looked in Rochester NY and he just snorted and said, well! you won't find anyone in Rochester! willing to try new treatments.

So, now we can recommend him too! Thanks again.
