I would like to recommend my doctor first on her amazing dedication, she truly cares! She's involved in my care completely, and never hesitates to work or call me after hours if we have important things to try or discuss about my continued care. In short, she's a nothing short of a miracle.
We all know how hard it is sometimes to find a doctor who has ever actually treated Crps. She's changed a part of my life, I have a Dr I can completely trust! A Dr who knows more about Crps than I do. Last week I spent 6 days in the hospital receiving a Lidocane Infusion. It seems to be helping some, we still have to wait another 2 weeks to see if it's going to be effective enough to use for permanent, long term, effective pain control. She saw me 2 time's a day, every day before and after her clinic hours. Even on Saturday and Sunday when I was released. She also "spoke" to nurse's who weren't listening to me when my medications were wrong, I had told her 3 times to call my Dr that thsee were the wrong meds and my doctor needed to know. She "advised" all of the staff that I was involved in my care closely, and to never not call her if I had a problem, no matter the time, and gave them her personal cell to ensure no further mistakes. As well as ripping the pharmacy a new one for replacing my medications with something else simply because they didn't have high enough milligram pills, instead of giving me more of a lower dose to equal the correct amount! Wow. Have you ever heard of a doctor like this.
The morning I was released she told me something that floored me. She studied, her Entire Residency, under Dr. Schwartzman. The Dr. SCHWARTZMAN! Who retired last June? I can't believe my doctor learned from one of the best doctors for Crps in the country. I have truly been blessed, I know I've been praying for help, for relief.
If you live near Eastern Washington. Or even in the Idaho Panhandle and have been searching for a good Dr PM me. She is new in the area and is taking as many Crps patients as she can. I can give you the office number, and you can go from there!
She really is an amazing doctor. I can't say how much it changes your life, tor have a Dr who really knows how to help me. It's a huge world of difference, especially for me!

Too bad I am not in the are and she probably doesn't take my ins. LISAR624

Wow! That's awesome!! Does your de know one in the pittsburgh area? I'm so frustrated with mine! All they want to do is implant a stim and I am not wild about that idea. I love my pt though!

Hello! You are so blessed to have finally found a caring and competent doctor for the RSD! I live in California and willing to travel if I must. May I get your doctor's contact info. Does your dr know one in the Los Angeles area per chance? Thanx for sharing!!!

I can ask her during my next appointment, but it isn't until Jan 5th. I'll try to remember! I sure hope you are able to find a Dr as I have! Happy Holidays!

Believe me I know how extremely lucky I am!!!!!!! I sent you a private message with her information! She is trying to build her patient list to eventually treat only Crps, as I stated in my message, but please only pass her information to people who are actually going to see her. I wouldn't want her to get hundreds of calls for referrals for doctors closer to them LOL! I really hope she can do for you what she has for me! I hope you have a Happy Holidays!!

It is always great to hear of doctors who know how to treat CRPS but really listen to their patients. I am so happy to hear you have found someone you can trust. Good luck on your continued recovery and treatment plans.

I am very interested in knowing who your MD is. I am a psychiatrist in La Grande, Oregon and have patients with CRPS who might benefit from a consultation. Often they have given up on primary care providers and neurologists because they feel like they have nothing to offer.
Thanks.
