Re: looking for a CMT specialist in Ohio

[Guest guest]

Where should my husband go in Ohio? He has braces but is experiencing

pain daily. Where could he get a good general workup for other

problems (back, shoulder, hand pain)secondary to CMT?

Where in Ohio? (near a University or what area/city?)

We're in NE Ohio but could travel--New York, Pennsylvania, etc. How

does one pay for this kind of treatment?

[Guest guest]

See below. As for payments, ask what payment expectation is when you

call to book an appointment (private insurance, Medicare, monthly

payments, Visa/Mastercard acceptance, low-income assistance, cash

discounts, or other payment plans). You can also go to your nearest MDA

clinic. To find that, go to http://www.mdausa.org and at the bottom

left of the page where it says " MDA in your community " type your zip

code in the search box. Phone the clinic and inquire about your needs. There is

also the Cleveland Clinic at

Dr. Katirji, the third doctor on the list, is my neurologist and I highly

recommend him. He has a national and international reputation and in my opinion

is highly qualified.

I called the Cleveland Clinic this week; the first person they had us talk to

(phone) was a financial counselor. That tells me it's terrifically expensive--I

don't think the clinic nurse will call until we make the required $250 down

payment. There was no mention of any financial break.

Also called a podiatrist and got a figure of $180--$210 just for the exam, no

treatment. Because he's working honestly my husband has no SSI, no Medicaid and

at this time no insurance.
