Need to find a good SCI Doc in So Cal

deanchinaski · 11-04-2003, 12:29 PM

Anyone know a good physiatrist who does primary care for SCI who is board certified in Spinal Cord Medicine in the So Cal area? I just signed up for a PPO and can see anyone. I live in the high dersert so i think I will have to drive.
Thanks

Not sure where you are living, but I would recommend contacting a large SCI rehabilitation center for a referral. This could be Casa Colina in Pomona or Northridge Rehab or Loma Linda University in Redlands depending on where you live.

Thank you,

I will give them all a call. Loma Linda is closest to me. My zip is 92345. It has been 11 years since my SCI and I am just starting to really fall apart. I can finally afford a PPO and am very jazzed to be able to see the best Dr. that I can drive to. I also just got my first new car, a Mustang Mach 1, very very fast. By the way, the seat is wonderful. The lumbar support in the seat goes concave which is great because my lower back is fused.

Thanks again
