How to
Find a Doctor for Tourette Syndrome? I
get and answer numerous emails each day. But this question is far and
away the most frequently asked question I get -- namely, "Can you
recommend a doctor to diagnose and treat Tourette Syndrome?"
After requesting visitors to recommend doctors for the past 3 years and
having little to show for my efforts, I have decided the best way I can help
you in your search for a physician is to point you to the same resources I
have to use when trying to answer this very important question. We are so
fortunate these days to have the Internet at our fingertips and believe it
or not, the sites and search tools do exist now to assist you in finding a
doctor. Here are the places we recommend you start. No.1
Tourette
Syndrome Association - click
on this link and look up the TSA chapter nearest you. Call them and
you will find that they will normally maintain a lists of neurologists,
psychologists and psychiatrists in your area that diagnose and treat
children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. Just because a doctor is
on the chapter's list does not necessarily mean the doctor has been
recommended by chapter members. Many doctors requests local chapters
to be added to their list. Ask the local chapter member you talk to
which doctors have they heard good reports on.
No. 2
Find-a-Neurologist - Go
to the the American Academy of
Neurologists website and search for an AAN-member neurologists in
your area. You will get a pop-up window that will ask if you are a
member, but there is also an option you can check to browse and search as a
guest. Chose this option. You can search by name, city, state or
country. Only one of these search options have to be
selected.
