k&ajsmom Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe someone on here lives local and can give u a personal review. There seems to be quite a few doctors specializing autonaumic dysfunction in NY. I dont have any experience or knowledge personally however i would suggest u dont limit urself based upon reviews. Just pick one make appointment and if ur gut says no pick another. There is only one doctor here in my area, and hes has had some rough reviews however i believe it was cause he has a not so cuddly bed side manner and have heard he is very good at what he does. Im waiting 6 months for a first avail. Appointment so we shall see lol...... Isnt there a mayo clinic in nY and i believe a dysautonmia center linked with the presbyterian hospital, sounds like a good place to start maybe. Good luck. Also look for local support groups (some are on facebook) and u can get a lot of local feedback that way..=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Dr Blithsteyn - featured in the "Changes" documentary seems to be well respected and knowledgeable about POTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altruism Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't mean to be rude, but a 6 hours ride is nothing when you get to see a top expert in the field. I'm jealous, honestly. The closest one to me is 3 days away (with a car, I can't fly at this point).If I were you, I'd see her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badhbt Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 She does phone visits. She will work with your current Neurologist and given them her opinion. She is pretty reasonable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
