MomtoGiuliana Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hello again--my mom is going to ask a friend of hers whose daughter has POTS and lives in Arlington. I'll have a suggestion for you soon!Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmbutare Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 When I lived in DC I saw Russell Rothenberg who is an internist and rheumatologist. I only saw him twice but his exam was really thorough. I have no idea if he has any knowledge about POTS b/c I wasn't diagnosed when I saw him and then moved to NC so stopped seeing him. If you want to call his office to check on his dysautonomia knowledge, I'd be happy to look up his phone number for you. Let me know if you'd like it!Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenwclark Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Wow. Small world. I went to the Kaplan clinic a few times in the early 90s. That was before I had a diagnosis, so they weren't able to do much for me, but a couple of family friends with uncommon health problems found them very helpful.
