bethanyh Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was diagnosed with POTS in mid January and am now searching for a doctor in Pennsylvania. I live in Central PA and there are NO doctors within my area who are knowledgeable enough about this syndrome. Any suggestions? I am new to the DINET website so any help at all is much appreciated!Thank you,Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethanyh Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thank you for this list, Katie, I appreciate your help! Unfortunately there are only two doctors in PA from this list and one is a peds doctor and the other does not accept my insurance. I am still on the search but thank you for your help!Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethanyh Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Sarah, I am located directly in the middle of the state. To the west is Pittsburgh and to the southeast is Philadelphia. I have checked in with smaller locations such as Harrisburg and a few others but am not coming up with anything helpful.Thank you in advance for any leads,Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srb Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Welcome Bethany, I understand this search all too well. I live somewhat near you - perhaps we could private message? After intense searching, I found a cardiologist who was willing to treat me.And that quote in your signature - I just favorited it last night as I browsed Twitter during an insomnia episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kms1990 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi, When I lived in PA I saw Dr Michael Goodkin in Media PA. He was a really great doctor. His daughter has POTS and he knows a lot about it. He is a cardiologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always hoping Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello all!I actually had an appointment with Dr. Goodkin last July. They called 2 days before and said he was canceling all appointments indefinitely. I don't know what happened or if he is still practicing. If he is, he was highly recommended.Trisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethanyh Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I hope he did not have to cut back due to his daughter's medical needs. Thank you, I will check in to seeing if he is back to his practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
