luckygoat3 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I am looking for a new neuro in ohio. Most likely in NW ohio but would consider other areas. I need to find one as the others didn't make the cut. thankssusie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresa Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I wish I could help you, but I don't know any, but I sure do know a few not to go to!! I live close to Mansfield. You can pm me if want.I dont think neurology as a whole is making any real effort to dig into the whole POTS thing. The only profession I've found to treat it is Cardiology. I've found neurosurgery to be very interested in it but if someone is'nt physicaly broke they can't fix it. Alot of narrow minded "God complex" neurologists will tell you its anxiety or a migrain. I had one tell me that Cleveland Clinic was a bunch of rich kids with new toys and they make up stuff so they can get funded to keep playing with them. He flat out said POTS, FM, and CFS was a bunch of crap and I should spend my money on a psychiatrist. Anyone living around here I'll be happy to tell you what dr's to save your money and time on.

carlacat Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I saw Dr. Chameli, neuro at Cleveland Clinic and he is actually the doctor that sent me to Dr. Fouad because he suggested that I had Pots. I liked him, he is just to far away for me (4 hrs drive) or I would continue seeing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckygoat3 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks all, i will be contacting a few of you, mostly i want someone to help with my migraines, and my current problem. First i need to get new insurance *sighs*.susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 i see dr. robert shields at cleveland clinic - he's the head of the autonomic lab there - as a supplement to seeing dr. grubb. i've been pretty pleased with him though he isn't AS multi-disciplinary as dr. grubb by any means. re: neuros being into dysautonomia, i think it simply depends. my doc in maryland was a neuro & my neuro at cc has been helpful as well... melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brwneyedchica Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I second Belinda's post about Dr. Amer Alsheklee... I went to him last Monday for a second opinion, and I won't be going back to my other doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belinda Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Also Dr. Alsheklee is easier to get into and works with Dr.Chelimsky. You can schedule an appt. with him I believe directly through the contact for Chelimsky..Good luck..Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDT Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I am looking for a new neuro in ohio. Most likely in NW ohio but would consider other areas. I need to find one as the others didn't make the cut. thankssusieHi susieI am in the same situation. I am waiting to see Dr. Hanna at MetroHealth. Dr. White (retired) was a great neuro at Metro and trained Dr. Hanna. I will let you know after I see him. By the way I am a Cleveland Clinic patient and Dr. Foud diagnosed me. Still on the hunt.
