Default DC Doc

Faith,

Another poster provided information for Dr. Moskovitz. He's who I see - he's an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spine injuries and sits on the RSDSA board. My original injury was in my right foot, but he sees me because he is very interested in RSD and has been really helpful. He's my "primary" doc and helps me manage all the other doctor's I deal with.

The Medstar National Rehabilitation hospital is where I go for PT (in OCOR and I see Greer) and for pain management (I see Dr. Numsuwan).

I saw a neurologist at Medstar Washington Hospital Center that Dr. Moskovitz recommended; however, I only saw him once and he confirmed I have CRPS and further discussed my treatment plan - but I saw him after months of dealing with other doctors and having a treatment plan in place that was showing improvement. So I don't think he wasn't to step on any toes and so I haven't seen him since. His name is Dr. Michael Batipps. He's very highly rated and I felt he was a very good an thorough doctor, but it was very hard to see him.

Most of my care is through the Medstar hospital system, including for things outside of my CRPS (like migraines). I've had really positive experiences for the most part, but my first orthopedist was not great, though he did diagnose me with CRPS 3 months after my injury. I hope this helps! Feel free to PM me for more information.

It seems to be rapidly spreading to my mother's other extremeties and our current pain doctor is unaware that this is even plausible. Can you possibly provide information for the neurologist across the street from National Rehabilitation Hospital that you had luck with? We'd like to give it a shot. Thanks! And so glad to hear you had a positive experience.
