Does anyone use Dr Knobler to treat their crps? Wondering what patients think of him as I am going to see him for the first time next week. All of the neurologists and ot/pt's that helped diagnose me independently told me "you need to see Dr S. @ Drexel". First of all, it is easier to get a private audience with the pope than to get in with him. Second of all, several of his patients are people with I have very close interpersonal relationships with and they couldn't get me in to see him. Lastly, I don't agree with how he has approached treatment of my loved ones, I believe he may have given them other issues with some of the treatments he uses. These are just my opinions and observations.But I wonder, what makes Dr. S the RSD god?

So after getting the devastating diagnosis I never thought I would ever get, and knowing what lies ahead I did some research and found Knobler. Who, by coincidence started the RSD program with Dr S when they were both at Jefferson. When they split- S went the academic route, Knobler opened his own institute. The downside- Knobler is self pay and it can be costly. S accepts most insurance. The upside- not having to comply with the pressures of being associated with a neurology department at a large hospital, not having to listen to or comply with insurance companies or deal with drug companies- these all seem to give "incentives" for certain treatments. Without having to deal with all of that I am hoping he can treat me objectively, which is why I chose him.

So I am just wondering what other people's experiences with have been with Dr Knobler. Is my hope warranted?
