Hoosierfan Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Does anyone see a specialist in dysautonomia in Pennsylvania or Maryland that might be taking new patients. I may end up with a referral from PCP to do a full work up if we can't get my issues under control / fully understood by the beginning of June. I live in Central PA, so I think the nearest autonomic lab would be at Cleveland Clinic. If anyone has other suggestions (a Dr. at Johns Hopkins, etc), please let me know! Thanks!!!!!

Katybug Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 The only doctor I know of for adults in MD is Dr. Ramesh Khurana at Union Memorial Hospital. He does have equipment for autonomic testing but isn't a big operation like Cleveland Clinic or Mayo. It usually takes 3-5 months to get a new patient appt. with him. PM me if you have specific questions about him. Happy to help with any info I can give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiohfan23 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I should say though that he will do a TTT if necessary but it isn't going to b a full lab work up like at mayo or Cleveland. But he is very knowledgeable and will try different medications appropriate to ur situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichGotsPots Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Cleveland or Toledo. Cleveland will take you faster and do tons of testing.. Toledo has the Guru, Dr. Grubb, he thinks outside the box.. I know a doc in Philly but he'll only do a holter and TTT and try different meds. Just my opinion but I think everyone should get all the autonomic tests they can before getting meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Rich, who do you like at Cleveland? Think that will probably be my best option. My NMH issues are triggered / exagerated around my menstrual cycle (I go hypotensive the week prior), so if there is someone at Cleveland who has particular expertise with women or at least wouldn't mind consulting with one who does (whether another cardio or OB/GYN), I'd like to see them.

Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
