Help Finding a Doctor

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.
 
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!
