I would like to find a neurological clinic in Southern California that specializes in Trigeminal Neuralgia for my father. He has had it on and off for years, usually disappearing in a few weeks. At this time he has been suffering with TN for 5 months. I would appreciate any information on a quality state-of-the art neuro clinic.

Thank you for your help,

Gayle



Dear Gayle:
Many clinics in Southern California deal with TN.
In Los Angeles area, 2 good places: UCLA medical center in Westwood and USC medical Center (USC University Hospital in east LA).
In San Diego: UCSD medical center.
If you are not satisfied with the care in California, you can always get an appointment with one of the specialists at the Cleveland Clinic by calling 1 800 CCF CARE.
Good luck
