Hi,
This is my first post on this forum so I apologize in advance if I am breaking protocol. My wife received her diagnosed last week of ALS. Now we need to start the second opinion process. We leave near Boston. I'm wondering if any of you have had any experience with the ALS clinics at Mass General, Lahey Clinic or Beth Israel Deaconess? Those three programs are the ALSA-certified clinics in our area. Our neurologist is pushing Mass General, but because his communication skills are perhaps typical of others in his speciality, we don't know if that's the best choice for us or not.
Any info or ideas would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Marty
