Reply To: CIDP friendly neurologist in Orlando

As you indicate, there may not be many good GBS/CIDP specialists in Orlando. However, there are in the Tampa area and the GBS-CIDP Foundation has an office in Orlando. They may be able to provide doctor references (or maybe this is one of those you spoke to). Contact:

If your friend doesn’t mind driving ~105 miles to Clearwater, this doctor specializes in GBS/CIDP: http://www.tampabayneurology.com/schneider.shtml

Or this CIDP specialist (considered a CIDP Guru by some) 30 miles closer in Tampa: http://health.usf.edu/medicine/neurology/faculty/gooch.htm

There does seem to be more specialists in the Tampa area. Maybe you should contact the GBS-CIDP Foundation office there too:
