Thanks John. The two Network Members nearest to Flagstaff are the Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) and the ASU Campus Health Center. However, the KRMC only has a neurologist that specializes in headaches and the ASU CHC doesn't list a neurologist on their list of healthcare providers. Have you heard anything about Dr. Erik Otega with the Barrow Neurological Institute? On the BNI website, it states that he specializes in neuropathy.

My father suffered with Parkinson's disease for 12 years and, I know that PD and PN are completely different conditions but, I don't want to go through what he went through.

Thanks, Joel

I had not heard of him but his credentials look OK - https://www.barrowneuro.org/person/erik-ortega-md/. The sad part of all our struggles is trying to get a diagnosis and then once you get one finding out there is no cure. They just try to provide some drugs to provide relief from the neuropathy symptoms which is a good thing when the treatment works with no side effects.
