OC doctors

Hi Taryn:

I live in Orange County. There are a number of neurologists with pretty good reputations centered around Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach. Dr. Verghese in Newport Beach treats numerous patients with neuromuscular diseases like CIDP, he has lots of experience utilizing IVIG. Additionally, if you are confirmed as having CIDP and you are prescribed IVIG, the Hoag Hospital outpatient clinic in the Cancer Center is an excellent facility.

Dr. Mozaffar at UCI is probably the top-level specialist in Orange County, he would be good for getting a diagnosis if you can get a referral to him. I also saw Dr. Graves at UCLA a few years ago and he is excellent, but quite a drive obviously. Additionally, my doctor sent me to see Dr. Bosch at Mayo Clinic Scottsdale for another set of expert eyes after I was having a really rough go several months back.
