Yep , Dr Edward Carden in Marina Del rey...rsd specialist and author.
http://www.discmdgroup.com/pain-management/doctors.asp Another great neuro and pain management guy is Dr Sheldon Jordan in Santa Monica on Wlishire Blvd. Dont have his number but call directory assistance. Don't know if he treats a lot of RSD patients though THE UCLA pain management guys ...eh, not that good. But I believe fmichael has a doc at USC that he swears by.

I would be that RSD guy, and here's my doctor at U.S.C., of whom I think the world:
Steven Richeimer, M.D.Not exactly geographically convenient from the South Bay, I grant you, but I found that coming initially from Santa Monica with mid to late morning appointments the traffic was never very bad. (But avoid late afternoon appointments at all costs.) Mike |

Dr. Joshua Prager is a good PM guy. He's in Westwood:
310-264-7246 100 UCLA Medical Plaza Ste. 760 LA 90095 You can't refer yourself for an appointment. You're current doctor will have to send over records/report, and then they'll call you. The initial consult is $650. You pay as you go, and then get reimbursed by your insurance company. He's really experienced in all RSD treatments (we're starting ketamine infusions next week...) Good luck. |

Just wanted to clarify. When I said the UCLA docs not that great, I meant at the Santa Monica location and the ones on staff.
Dr Prager is great! And though he practices on the UCLA campus he is actually in private practice and not part of the othe UCLA pain management office. |

I couldn't agree with you more about UCLA in Santa Monica.
My experience with their Pain Mgnt. clinic was a disaster. Very shabby, unsophisticated treatment. Stay far away... |
