Testing in the DC, MD, VA area
Anyone have any recommendations for doctors around DC, or parts of Maryland or Virginia that are close to DC? I don't own a car, so my commute is restricted to bus or metro. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi CRG:
Dr. Shobeiri recently left OKC and is now at a clinic in northern Virginia. I'm not sure which one, but you can probably call the OKC number to get his new location.

Carol,
I am from the DC area, and have gone the whole 9 yards with PNE. Dr Marvel is in Maryland. Recommend you look at the Diagnosis and other parts of this website to get informed on the process, symptoms, and also for a look at the list of doctors. Can you share what you are experiencing?
There are many resources on this site, including those on the forum.

Hi Carol,
I was diagnosed first in Houston and then migrated to Drs Hibner/Castellanos at St Joseph's in Phoenix. I am partial to them. I have a preference for doctors and treatment at university hospitals, as they are paid as staff employees and not by the procedure (reduced conflict of interest IMO). And they take most all insurance. My best experiences have been at Johns Hopkins (MD) and St Josephs (AZ) medical centers.
Thorough diagnosis is the key to starting down the correct treatment path. The best advice I can give anyone is to treat this like a part time job and do your research, and leave no stone unturned.
Best,
Bob

I urge you to see David Gordon in Baltimore / Reisterstown - he's a urologist with a subspecialty in neurology (he treats both sexes). I was there today. His secretary, Patty, is a peach of a person.
