Important
Disclaimers
The
resources in this listing were compiled by The
Carousel Network in an effort to document those
health care and other professionals in the community
who have an understanding of chronic neuroimmune
diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia,
multiple chemical sensitivities, etc. The health
care providers on this list were recommended for
the listing by patients and clients.
Neither
The Carousel Network nor its board of directors
make any guarantees or warranties about any of the
individuals or agencies listed herein.
Some
practitioners must limit their practice from time
to time, due to patient loads, etc. Some health
care providers do not accept Medicare and/or Medi-Cal.
This has been noted in the following entries when
this information is known. If you cannot afford
to self-pay and have no other insurance, ask if
the provider accepts the coverage you have (Medicare,
Medi-Cal, CSMP) before you make an appointment.
Doctors that we know for sure don't take any Medicare
or Medi-Cal will be noted with "No M/M".
If
you have information on other providers of services
who would be useful to include in this directory
or if you have updated information for these providers,
please send the information (name, address, telephone
number, type of provider, any specific areas of
knowledge or service) to ResourceDirectory@cndsinfo.net.
