Has anyone ever been to University of PA Medical Center for the treatment of TN. I live in the New Orleans area where there are two internationally known medical centers, Ochsner & Tulane U. I have seen neuros at both with no joy. I'm wondering if I should look for a nationwide doc for treatment.

I looked in the archives here at HW & did not find any information about members going to Un. of PA. My thought is to perhaps check on FaceBook for support groups to see who people are treating with successfully.

I hope you can find some help.

How many private neurologists have you seen ? Ochsners and Tulane are good for some things but not everything. Before traveling, be sure the facility you are going to accepts your insurance.
