Pain doctor in So. California

[Guest guest]

Elinor,

Try Dr. Verruno in the Santa /West L.A. area. When I saw him for

my intense back pain/disc problem, he was practicing out of St. 's

Hospital in Santa , but he also worked out of the Spine Institute

and another place that escapes me right now. He is Brazilian born and

educated plus has USA medical training. I was very impressed with him

and liked him. Before treating me, he specifically asked how CMT

affects me first (not what CMT is!) I was pleasantly surprised to find

a doc like this who knew about CMT. Dr. Verruno is a Board Certified

Anethesiologist and I found him very competent. On top of that he is a

nice guy, personable, good 'bedside' manner.

I'm sorry it's been years since I saw him and do not have his phone,

but if you contacted St. s, they should be able to help you locate

him.
