> TamaraHi,
Yes, I've seen Dr. Goldberg's list. Dr. Bob has some info from him in the "tips" section of this website. I've contemplated contacting one of those doctors if I ever got health insurance. One of them isn't far from where I'm living right now.For Linkadge, the problem with getting a Canadian doctor to contact one of these specialists is that the Canadian doctor would have to think that he or she knows less than another doctor in his/her field. Their egos are usually so large that I can't imagine that happening. I suppose it's worth a try but it may also anger the doctor to have it even suggested to them that they might need another doctor's help.
The phone consultation idea is interesting but how would the doctor then be able to prescribe for a Canadian patient?
