P.O.T.S doctor

[DIzzyChick]

I'm 15 and have been passing out for 2 years now and have seen every single specialist in south Florida. does any one have any suggestions on doctors outside of Florida? the latest suggestion made by specialists are go to see a P.O.T.S specialist. so does anyone have any doc. that specializes in POTS?

You can see Dr. Young at Jackson Memorial in Miami. He is head of the pediatric cardiology unit. He performs a tilt table in his office and had POTS himself growing up. My 14 year old son sees him and he is wonderful. The usual wait time is less than a month.

We take my son to Cleveland, 9 hours drive for us.  We see Dr Thomas Chelimsky at Case Western University Hospital.  He and his wife,Dr Gisela Chelimsky,(peds Gi dr-autonomic dysfunction) are both great.  The wait to get into him is not as long as some others(3 months last I knew).  There is a complete autonomic lab there as well.

   I too live in Florida and have a great suggestion for an EP doc
here in North Central Florida. if you are interested in the name and number PM me and I will give that to you as we are not supposed to throw out actual doc names and so forth on the forum.

Take Care,

I travel 11 hours in a rented RV (since I must be laying down) to see Dr. Blair Grubb at the University of Toledo in Ohio.  But you need to confirm if you have POTS on a tilt table test and he has a long waiting list (sometimes 6 months) so it may be better to have your doctor call him with your medical records.
