Title: Advise: West Coast Neuro's
Post by givin2fly on Jan 3^rd, 2006, 3:23am

Hi all, Happy New Year.

My husband currently see's Dr. Neil Raskin at UC San Francisco, which is about a 4 hour drive north from Monterey. We see Raskin about 1x a month, and in addition, see the local Neuro who originally referred us to Raskin once a month as a middleman. Aside from Raskin's abrasive bedside manner ( trust me, the rumors are correct) he is a fantastic Dr., however -

Our local Neuro has advised us to possibly try another Dr. for a fresh point of view, as we have been seeing Raskin for some time now with absolutly no luck. Dean is on a "spin the bottle" medication routine - try this, nope - try this, nope..etc and it's really taking a toll.

We were told Dr. Kudrow in LA was very good, are there opinons out there on who on the west coast is in Dr. Raskin/Dr. Kudrow's league - or even better?

Any help would be appriciated greatly,
Cynthia

Here is who other clusterheads recommend:

Looks like Raskin, Kudrow and Graf-Radford are the most recommended.
