....."but have NO IDEA how to go about it. Any ideas? Suggestions??"........


Below is the web site for the American Neurotology Society---think I would send off some e-mails to the "Executive Counsel", "Membership" & "Administration" contacts---their e-mail addresses are listed on the page---outlining your situation/questions----

....."I want to find the most qualified, best neurotologist in my local area,"........


Below is a list of the membership---with addresses, phone numbers & locations---its a "PDF" file so you will need Adobe Reader---which you prob already have---you can scan the list for Nuero-oto's in the D.C. area---I looked at it quickly---thought I saw a few---but not sure---

Then I think I would search (using Google) on "Balance Centers"----and get a contact point---from your ENT---up at Boston---and ask them for a reference for your area......they will know.....


Others, I am sure will have suggestions---but that is all I could think of-----I hope you got a second opinion on this---I agree with your ENT on the "risks"---I you sure---you can't make it up to Boston & that your Insurance Co. will not pay????


Good Luck!
