k&ajsmom Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ive been researching dysautonomia specialists in Virginia Beach, VA and have come across a Dr. Kamal Chemali. He is currently with Sentara Neurology Specialists. It says he came from the Cleveland Clinic and opened a Dysautonomia Clinic this year dedicated to Oi and other disorders of the ANS. I have read some of you have been to the Cleveland Clinic and wonder if you are familiar with the doctor and how your experience was if you are....I am self pay so I wanna make sure its not another several hundred bucks down the drain if possible only for them to say drink water and eat salt and send me packing....ekkk...its almost Christmas and Im getting grinchy giving all my money to our beloved doctors lolPs I cant find anything about him online, makes me worry a little =/Thank u!!!

puppylove Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I tried to get an appointment with him earlier this year, but when we called we couldn't reach his office. I'm guessing it was because they had just built that place? I think that there is information on the clinic on the site Stop Pots VA.

Kellysavedbygrace Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I was at the Cleveland Clinic in Feb and worked with both docs in the syncope lab and two in neurology. I did not hear about him but he could have been there at a different time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiemxoxo Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hello, I actually live in Virginia Beach and I have seen Dr. Chemali once and he was helpful but I didn't want to get any testing done at the time because I am currently pregnant and in stable condition. I know he has a full autonomic lab though and is a good doctor for finding out possible causes. If you are looking more for treatment then I have heard that Dr. Sica at MCV in Richmond is the one to go to. It depends on what you're looking for but I know others who are very pleased with Dr. Chemali. If you want more information about him and are on FB I would suggest posing this question on there to this group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/412465042132034/Hope this helps!
