    I am almost certain I have TMS but would like to speak to a doctor (M.D.) about it. The only respected one in my state (Tennessee) is not seeing patients. Dr. Schubiner cannot see me because I am not in IL, and Dr. Schecter cannot see me because I have Blue Cross insurance and he does not accept that. Do you know of another M.D. who could see me virtually and hopefully accept insurance? I am really struggling to find one, and was unable to find a reasonably priced one on the PPD Directory or the Practitioners page on TMS Wiki. Thanks.

    I have heard that Brad Fanestil, MD sees patients virtually out of his Center for mind-body medicine in Boulder. Not sure about insurance, but if you Google him a website comes up with a link to the center. Good Luck!

    I had a similar dilemma and I went to Dr. Gietzen on the PPD list. I don't think he takes insurance but his rate was very reasonable and advise was spot on. I have still fully recovered and am forever grateful for the recommendations.

    I also had problems for a long time with finding a qualified specialist in the field of neuropathology, since in my opinion this is one of the most difficult areas of medicine, and it is quite difficult to find a doctor.

    I believe Dr. Ira Rashbaum is accepting online appointments with residents of New York and Florida.

    Be careful not to relinquish your own authority. Always good to get help but don't let your struggles to find a doctor stall your healing. Have you been to a doctor to rule out an actual physical ailment? If so, take command of your health, read Sarno, do the work. You got this!
