I am so sorry that you haven't been able to find the doctor you need. I
wish I could tell you how to find the right one for you ... someone who
will try. Is there a University hospital that you can get to? It is not
unusual for a University setting to make the inter-specialty
consultation work better. There are also some self contained health
care centers which work as a large team. It is to their advantage to
refer within the group. This may be good for you as well. These are
options to try. Unfortuntely, I have no solution for anyone except my
patients when I run the workup or another "team" member does it and we
all communicate.
