Probing in Pennsylvania

[xpro]

Anyone know a doctor who does meibomian gland probing in Pennsylvania?

I don't know if you can travel a bit, but I know someone (NeedMyEyes) who went to Dr. Spagnolo at Baltimore Washington Eye Center in Glen Burnie, MD (http://www.bweyecenter.com/baltimore...-spagnolo.html).

That same person also saw a doctor outside of Philly for IPL for dry eyes. The doctor's name is Dr. Sanjay Kamat at Bucks Eye Specialist in Yardley, PA (http://www.buckseyespecialists.com/drsanjaykamat.html).

If you can't travel, you could perhaps contact Kamat and ask if he/his office knows of someone doing MG probing in PA.

You can also call/contact Dr. ****** in Tampa FLA (http://dr******.com/) who invented the probes and ask him if he knows of someone in PA using his probes.

Good luck.

dr steven safran outside of trenton is really good. he does probing (i have not had it done) but i like him. he offers probing really cheap compared to other places as well because he knows it is still somewhat experimental and not all patients seem to benefit from it. i believe its 250 an eye, which is substantially less than what ****** would charge you.

Do you know if he limits his probing to 1 and 2mm? Could be why he's so much less expensive.

i have no clue. you would have to call his office. he seems sincere when he says he offers it for cheaper because he is not entirely sure whether it is beneficial for people or not.
