I would recommend the closest large hospital/ medical school group. For example, I live near University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB), which is frequently quoted in the news. They have top-notch faculty that also see patients in specialty clinics. My appointment at UAB was scheduled for nine months away, but I called every few weeks and was able to snag an earlier appointment. I told them it didn’t matter who I saw, because any neurologist in that type of setting should be very familiar with SFN. Then they can communicate with your local physician.
