Numbness on entire left side of body.

On Feb 4 2016 the left side of my body went numb--not paralyzed, but numb, like you've had dental work and had the "deadening" shot, and it has started to wear off, but doesn't. I have seen my primary care physician, a chiropractor, a neurologist, an orthopedic surgeon and a neurosurgeon.  I have had brain and cervical spine x-rays and MRIs, and there is no "structural" cause for the numbness they can see.  I have tried to make an appointment at a University medical center with a neurologist for a "full neurological workup" (recommended and referred by the Neurosurgeon), but they have no openings for two months.  The left arm and hand are particularly painful and sensitive, and the condition, while not debilitating, is exhausting and very uncomfortable. Where could I get in to see a reputable neurologist soon than mid-July?  I have suffered from this for almost four months.
