Hi, I am in the Los Angeles area and Dr. David seems to be the only one around here that diagnoses TMS. I was wondering if anybody has been there and had opinion to share? Thanks so much
You could try searching the forum. There is a "Search" link in the upper right hand corner.
Schechter is one of the main national TMS doctors. Have you visited his website (www. mindbodymedicine .com)? He also runs http://www.smi-mindbodyresearch.org/ .
You are in Los Angeles and Dr. Schecter is in Los Angeles. Unless financial concerns are keeping you away, I think seeing Dr. S. makes sense given the dearth of other options.
I was a Sarno patient when I lived in NYC in 1995. I chose to see Dr. S. in 2004. He is certainly no Dr. Sarno. Dr Sarno is in a league of his own. However Dr. Schecter is knowledgeable enough to make the diagnosis.
If I were in your shoes, I would see Dr. Schecter for a TMS diagnosis and use Dr. Schubiner's intensive online program for treatment.
