Seeking feedback on Dr. Ramesh K. Khurana or Dr. Emmanuel Nsah in Maryland?

I was looking to find out if anyone can tell me of Dr. Khurana's or Dr. Nsah's experience in treating POTS patients.  They practice in different cities in Maryland.  My daughter is 23 years old and has POTs, but is locked out of seeing some experienced pediatric practitioners because she is over 18.  She has tried Florinef, but got terrible insomnia and headaches (despite taking 1/4 of the smallest dose in the morning).  She also tried midodrine, but got that goosebump feeling all over her skin (which was expected).  However, it lasted all day, and she also had no improvement in symptoms or any increase in blood pressure from it.  We would consider beta blockers, but her symptoms are an increase in heart rate when standing up; her blood pressure remains low.  So, we're looking for someone who has seen quite a few POTS patients and someone who is also comfortable, and has experience, in trying various meds besides Florinef, midodrine and beta blockers.

Given the above parameters, would others think that either of these doctors are appropriate to see?

I'm in Baltimore and I have been seeing Dr. Khurana since 2011. He specializes in treating dysautonomia. He has his own testing equipment for ttt, valsalva and breathing tests, and sweat testing. 

He is very knowledgeable and keeps up on the latest research. He is also a certified headache specialist which comes in handy since so many of us have migraine.  

He will seem a bit clinical at first but he is very compassionate and has a deep understanding of how debilitating this can be "even when we don't look sick". (And he also has a quite good and dry sense of humor.) 

I also have a cardiologist who is actually the doc who diagnosed my POTS here in Baltimore. She is not an "expert" but has a solid understanding of POTS and orthostatic intolerance. Dr. Khurana actually encouraged me to keep her on my team and they work to compliment each others efforts. I can PM you her information if you would like. Let me know.
