:welcome: to the ICN!!!! I gave you all of the ones listed for Pennsylvania at ICN. If that doesn't work https://www.ichelp.com/AskTheDoctor/physicianregistry.html ICA will give you ideas if you fill out their form thing. Other options are to look at ICN and ICA for support group leaders in your area and ask for their advise. Good luck!

I live in South Jersey but I see Dr Testa at 5th and Bainbridge in Phiily. He has been very helpful since I have no insurance he gives me samples of some of my meds. I am on a pain contract with him. I would like to see Dr Kristine Whitmore at Graduate But I don't have Insurance and she is very expensive. She runs a UroGynocology clinic in Philly.
