Re: SECOND OPPINION

I go to Dr. Stanley Fahn at Columbia Presbyterian  [located a couple of
blocks from the George Washington Bridge and the Cross Bronx Expressway]  It
took  2 1/2 months [1999] to get a first appointment, but the man is truly
worth the wait.  He gave me almost 3 hours at my first meeting + a full hour
at each subsequent appointment, as opposed to the normal 15-20 minutes from
the previous 7 "neurologists"  I've had.  You also get a "Fellow" assigned
to you, a doctor who is 6 months or less from being a full fledged Movement
Disorders Specialist there.  You have phone, fax and e-mail access to them
and they always respond within one day.  I would not ask him about this, but
my local GP here in NJ told me that Dr. Fahn  is Muhammad Ali's MDS, for
whatever that is worth.   # is 212-305-5277,5537, or 1540
