They are absolutely not allowed to prescribe you that medication again after such a severe reaction! 🙄
Make sure you contact either the Mayo Clinic or the Holy Spirit hospital to get this whole situation sorted out properly.

If I were in your shoes, my first recommendation would be to step away from the gym entirely for the time being. While I might be able to assist you with certain physical procedures or specific exercises while you wait for your surgery, those matters ultimately fall under the expertise of a physiatrist.

I highly recommend Dr. Jelekovic, an excellent private gynecologist located near Central Park.

Mike Pence is excellent!

Dr. Fauci over in Manhattan.

I had a very poor experience with a company located in DZ Kruge, though I cannot recall the exact name at this moment. The entire process was flawed, from the initial measurement to the subpar manufacturing. To make matters worse, following up with the doctor is nearly impossible because she is practically never available there 🙄; you are forced to communicate via email, where they simply provide half-hearted corrections. In my specific case, they adjusted one insole but neglected the other, rendering the entire set completely useless 😲
. I attempted to visit several other locations, but unfortunately, the quality was consistently underwhelming across the board.
Ultimately, my doctor recommended that I steer clear of these computerized analyses and modern manufacturing methods altogether. Apparently, there is widespread dissatisfaction with these technologies, and she suggested that I would be much better off opting for a traditional manual impression instead.

I am in urgent need of replacing my primary care physician, so I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for doctors in NYC. I would prefer someone located in Downtown and surroundings, though I am also open to candidates in the Martićev area, DZ West, or similar neighborhoods.

Robin Wells4 said:Hi everyone, does anyone know of a good private clinic or an ophthalmologist? I've been having some issues with my eyes and I can't tell if it's just allergies or something else. I've already tried going to a local eye center, but I wasn't particularly satisfied with the experience. Thanks!

I would suggest seeing Dr. Henc; I have found her expertise and level of experience to be quite impressive.

Nicholas Davis27 said:...but I'm still dealing with this same issue. Now they've advised me to get a gastroscopy. It might be stomach acid, though my stomach doesn't hurt and I don't have heartburn. If I really need to go through with a gastroscopy, could someone let me know if it's better to go to a private clinic or a hospital? I've heard that doing it at a hospital can be a disaster. If anyone knows of a private clinic in Cleveland that performs this, I would appreciate any advice regarding the difference between hospital and private care, as well as the typical cost.

I had mine done privately (which is definitely what I recommend), but in NYC. If you don't mind traveling here for the diagnosis, please send a private message for further details.

I honestly don't believe there is anything you can do about that situation right now. My own mother went through something similar when she was given an incorrect injection, which ended up damaging her nerve; she was in excruciating pain for quite some time. For a more efficient recovery, perhaps taking Neurobion might help?

mistyjackal842 said:Could someone please recommend a reliable private ENT specialist? I need help with my ear, assuming I can't resolve the issue through a simple ear irrigation performed by my primary care physician. My only request is that they aren't located over on Vinogradska Street.

Prof. Boris Pegan maintains a private practice and is a top-tier expert.🙂
Even though I personally tend to avoid the area around Vinogradska, I have yet to find anyone better than the recommendation I received from a colleague regarding an ENT resident, Alan Pegan. He went above and beyond to diagnose and ultimately resolve my issue—something several highly respected specialists failed to achieve over a period exceeding two years.

Gently moisten the area and then slowly begin to peel the bandage away.

Unfortunately, filing complaints rarely yields any meaningful results. 👎

Adam Fox3 said:I am not based in Washington, D.C., so does anyone know of a highly recommended orthopedic specialist who focuses on spinal conditions, such as scoliosis or other vertebral issues? I am looking for someone with a private practice. Since I don't have health insurance here in the US, I have to cover all medical expenses out of pocket. Thanks!

Dr. Kovač at the Los Angeles Lakers facility might be an option, though I am uncertain if they maintain any private consultations outside of their primary affiliation.

bluecrane16 said:Thanks. Do you have any personal experience working with him?

I am looking for a second opinion because my first neurosurgeon told me I need stabilization—specifically, screws at the Lumbar Spine level—and frankly, I am terrified.

I read somewhere that he only performs cervical spine surgeries. Or perhaps I just mixed up the details.

Yes, I was actually one of his patients, and several other specialists have recommended him to me.
He handles cervical issues, but he does much more than that; for instance, he performed lumbar surgery on my primary care physician.
The waitlist for an appointment can be quite long, but unlike some 🙄, he is very easy to talk to regarding recommendations and other matters—he is incredibly approachable. 🙂

If you are looking for excellent recommendations for the lumbar spine, Dr. Sajko at Johns Hopkins Hospital is also highly regarded.

Additionally, for a physiatrist, I would recommend Dr. Miran Jakšić at Holy Spirit.

Dr. Fauci is excellent for spine issues in general.

Sandra Brooks91 said:I actually followed a recommendation from this forum myself, but I can't say I was particularly satisfied with the experience.

I am truly sorry to hear that you had such an experience. Personally, I have consulted several specialists—largely because I am dealing with permanent consequences resulting from 😠—and I would recommend the aforementioned doctor as my top choice for both clinical expertise and bedside manner. I feel quite fortunate that I sought him out immediately. ☕
It seems, however, that experiences can vary quite significantly. 🤷

I am in urgent need of a recommendation for a highly skilled neurologist in Washington, D.C.

Thank you!

Dr. Smith.

Raymond Hughes said:Hello!

I have been struggling with significant lower back pain for quite some time now. Over the last few days, the situation has escalated to the point where I am having extreme difficulty even moving around, let alone performing any complex tasks.
Could anyone recommend a specialist located in Washington, D.C.?

Thank you!

A physiatrist? Dr. Žugaj.

The immunologists at Mayo Clinic are consistently excellent; they are permitted to prescribe biologics—provided those treatments meet strictly defined criteria, primarily when standard therapies have proven ineffective.

casualowl17 said:Hello,

Does anyone have any firsthand experience with this specific clinic and Dr. Miller? I am interested in their level of expertise, their pricing structure, and their overall objectivity...

I haven't been able to find an existing thread regarding this topic...

Best regards,

A close family member had excellent results following thyroid treatment there. As for the costs, I believe they have a full price list available on their website.
