My GP leaves the therapy field, up to his patient's own free will. He doesn't refer in this direction. That said, I've utilized my health insurance provider for a list of covered providers, and sought out my own T, except my current T, I'd showed this list to my pdoc, who highlighted a few T's from the list, after my health insurance changed and my T, at that time didn't accept the new insurance. Pdoc was referred by my neurologist.
Thanks for this!
