Looking for a doctor in Central Jersey

Messages

I live near two major research hospitals in New Brunswick but the closest CFS specialists I can find are in Manhattan. I'm looking for any recommendations for CFS specialists nearby or for a GP who listens to their patients and is willing to be creative and do their research. Does anyone have experience with Dr. Susan Levine or Dr. Benjamin Natelson and would it be worth it for me to make an hour plus commute to the city to see them? Thanks!

I've only heard good things about Susan Levine, except that she may not be taking new patients.

Benjamin Natelson is a great guy, but he doesn't take insurance, so he's expensive. And a bit old-fashioned, perhaps.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I'm going to give doctor Levine a call so at least I can go on a wait list.
