Dr. joshua Prager
UCLA California pain management Center.

he is seen alot online about RSD and has published in texbooks.
310-264-7246

I go to him. He is very straight forward and will tell you what you are up against. I am 20 so i have a long road ahead of me and I really liked him beacuse he included my family in everything because it does affect everyone around us.

Also in the same office is Dr. Ezekiel Fink...

I worked for neurosurgeons in Beverly hills and my dr sent our patient with RSD to him and he worked wonders. They are both in the same office. i would recommend going there even though it is a drive, he knows his stuff and this is all he treats is people with RSD/CRPS nothing else.. So his entire practice is based on this. Also he has a nurse practicioner that works with him that you can contact all the time that can contact him and call in anything if needed for flareups.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Hannah -

Among the adjectives I used to describe Dr. Richeimer was "self-effacing," which means "reluctant to draw attention to one's self." Which is an all too unusual trait in a brilliant man. I was treated briefly by Dr. Prager a number of years ago, and do not believe the same could be said about him. Has your experience been different?

Secondly, do you have an understanding as to whether Dr. Prager's office accepts insurance, or are the bills something your family handles for you?

Mike

Dr. Richeimer is by far the best in my opinion. He is very understanding up on the latest and a very compassionate man. Most importantly takes ins. Prager does not and will only take you after he reviews your medical records and decides if he WANTS to take you. I agree with you Mike.
