Per Al's suggestion (Thanks Al
), I'm posting this to the General forum to see if there is input from anyone there.
Hi All,
Looking for someplace to get a 3rd objective opinion for my husband who has been diagnosed with PBP/possible ALS.
In you opinion, where is the "best" neurology center in the US?
My definition of "best":
-Thorough, comprehensive testing (does not rely on results or opinions from other doctors)
-Compassionate
-Deals with facts, not maybes
Thanks,
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
I cannot tell you if these are the "best" neurology centers in US, but according to the person who I came in contact at ALS.net, these are some of places she referred me to. Feel free to contact Mary Beth Geise RN (who gave me this list) and talk with her if you wish. I'm sure others here will have suggestions for you as well.
