Can anyone recommend a neurologist in greater Philadelphia, PA area?

I need someone who isn't a 2+ month wait for a appt for a new patient. The good ones in my area (Delaware County, PA) are a year out wait for appts.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

The shortest wait time I was able to find when making a neurologist appointment last year was with David T. Park. He's part of the Main Line Health Neurology group. But in general, I believe there is a shortage of neurologists, which results in long wait times for new patients. Good luck.

If you are willing to travel and stay in thr Seattle area for a bit, I can recommend my neurosurgeon who performed an L4-5 laminectomy/spinal fusion to deal with my severe spinal stenosis. I am 2.5 months post op and am in p/t, kayaking, and swimming.

Yeah I don't know if I need a nerosurgeon or a neurologist, but the latter was what where I was referred given the lack of remarkability(don't know if that's a word) on my MRIs. Thanks though!

How was Dr. Park, and how long was the wait?
