PIK Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 I noticed a user on here that was in Philadelphia. I am in Philadelphia. I am looking for a doctor to treat PANDAS. I think I had it and the OCD has followed me into adulthood, along with other strep-related issues. I have a feeling PANDAS doesn't limit itself to children. Anyway, any help with finding a PANDAS doctor near Philadelphia would greatly be appreciated, as I don't have a car. Thank you.
Pandasphilly Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Dr M. in lansdale pa accepts insurance. Most of us travel if your child is severe and needs plasmapheresis etc. You can pm Edited July 22, 2013 by Pandasphilly
philamom Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Dr M. is not a PANDAS doctor but can be very helpful. He is a great listener and has seen patients with pandas, lyme, etc. Unfortunately, most here end up traveling out of state. Private message me if you would like more details on him. It may be the way to go if you don't have a car. If you do see him, expect a very long wait time in his office. He's always backed up. We see Dr. B in Ct. as well. We take the train.

JAG10 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 We also see Dr. Miller. He knows some about pandas. The best thing is he will cooperate with you and another doctor. So if you do a phone consult with a pandas specialist and need antibiotics or steroid taper, he's likely to cooperate with you locally. But he has a full family practice and I would describe him as pioneering the pandas treatment movement. That said, he's a terrific team member.
tpotter Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Agreed 100% with JAG10. We definitely have him as part of our team. He even arranged IVIG for my DS locally, per another PANS specialist's protocol.
