PANDAS friendly dr's in MI?

[nicklemama]

Anyone have a recommendation for a PANDAS friendly dr in SE MI? It looks like I'm going to need one. Feel free to email me privately, if that's an option on this forum.

I have not heard of one but if anyone knows I would love that information as well!! We are currently doing email and phone calls with Dr. T.

Dr. Harry Chugani (director of pediatric neurology at DMC) has an excellent rep, although he doesn't specialize in PANDAS / PITAND. He does order IVIG for some patients with abrupt onset neuropsych disorders, and Dr. L (one of the "PANDAS Big 4" on here) told me she considers him "one of the best around." Might be hard to see, though, since he's the dept head.

 

You could also try asking this question of the Michigan PANDAS Support Group. Here's a post on about that group (e-mail based):

Good luck!
