Re: Phoenix Neurologist needed

September 25, 2006

Sam,

I lived in Phoenix for about 6 years, try connecting with Barrows

Neurological Institute, or even the MDA there. If you have an

Internist, he/she, can make recommendations on specific doctors, refer

you, perhaps even to an orthopedist. From there you can ask for

referrals to an orthotist if you need one, and with your team of an

Internist, Neurologist and Orthopedist, they can direct you to a

Physical Therapist to get you started on an exercise program tailored

to your needs.

I can't say enough about Aquatics (not just swimming!) and Pilates for

exercise. Also core strengthening of other kinds too.

Sam,

Call Barrow's, the doctor there Dr. Sivikumari, not sure of spelling, also ask

Dr. E s about the neurologist on Peak Parkway, he is very up on

CMT. I also live here and have found both MD's helpful, I also met with the

neuro from Mayo clinic, Please let me know how you make out. I will try to find

the doctor's name from sdale I have seen him twice and he will do

follow-up for you which is hard to find today.
