This is so encouraging. We haven't even got one in the whole UK for 70 million people!Hopefully we can shame the UK medical Profession into getting educated and opening a Centre Of Excellence

So what does the center do? Quality Control seems like an odd name. I assume it's just a treatment center?

Yes it is a treatment center.

Good fortune has indeed smiled upon me! I just moved from CA, which has a relative abundance of competent providers, to Virginia. What a relief! I’ll let the group know what I find once settled in and evaluated at the center.

Great! Be sure you just see him and nobody else. I have heard stories from other forum members at other Quality Control Centers where they saw someone else that wasn't uptodate.
