Re: How to choose a dr.
I am a patient of Dr. Adelson's. I live in pittsburgh. I like him, he's a caring person. I will say though, that he is a proponent of physical therapy as a first measure. If you want to ask me any questions feel free to email me. Oh, and I called Dr. Zagers office for info one time and the receptionist told me that he just takes surgical referrals. This meaning that a neurologist or another doc would diagnose that I need surgery and he would do it. If I was given misinformation and others have seen him for non surgical reasons I would be interested to know

How to choose a dr.
If everything works out ok I think I might be able to see a specialist. But I'm not sure who to pick. I can go to Zager in Philly or Addelson in Pitt but I'm not sure which one to choose. They are the same distance and from what I can tell from their questionaires are pretty much the same. Any suggestions?

Re: How to choose a dr.
I tried to get SSD myself without a Lawyer, I got it without a appeal, But then again Both my arms are mess up one from birth erbs, the other torn up driving a semi 
What you really need to do is talk to a lawyer, The lawyer gets paid from the back SSD you get from a award
The Lawyer will have you examine by his doctor, Please Get all your record you have , including any med you take.
Every med counts like Pain med, that relates to any illness, Every think count in a determination.
I can tell your stress, it always a challenge to figured out a way,
Hope this helps, see a lawyer, There seems to be no charge, just to see a SSD lawyer, there always having them on cable
