Re: Hopkins doctor

October 20, 2006

Hi Helen,

I have and idiopathic neuropathy that's progressing fast. I live in the DC area.

I saw a doc at Hopkins a while back. He couldn't figure out the cause. Who are

you seeing at Hopkins? Maybe I need to see someone else there.

Thanks!

Helen,

i too would be curious as to the names of the hopkins doctors that you have been

seeing. I was treated by Dr. Dan Drachman for many, many years and decided to

change as he sees so many severe cases of problems, that he always made mine to

be like it is nothing, so i switched to Dr. Porter at University of land

downtown. His bedside manner is wonderful and he never makes me feel like my

problem is not important.

there was also another dr i saw at hopkins, but can't recall the name; would

recognize it if i saw it.

Jackie,

I saw Dr. at Hopkins. He minimized my problems too. I live in No VA so

Baltimore wasn't easy to get to. Any other doctor's that you think are

knowledgeable in MD, DC or VA?

Jackie,

I'll tuck that name into my address book. My mom saw a professor

emeritus at Univ MD Med Center last winter, Dr. Meyer or Mayer or

something like that.

R. Robi,

I see Dr. Vinay Chaudhry at Hopkins. I like him, he's a good fit

for me personally. However, he's barely accessible most of the time.

And you have to have your docs send your file to them for consideration before

they'll even see you.

You may want to consider also Jackie's recommendation. UMMC is

quite good -- I'd go there over a D.C. hospital, but maybe my bias is

unfounded.

When I do get in to see Dr C (5 visits over the summer), I can count

on a good hour-long discussion with him answering all of my pesky

questions! Hopkins is actually doing the US ascorbic acid trials.
