So many of you have been asking for this that I’m re-posting what I have. Hopefully we can grow this list in a huge way over the next year — with a focus on affordable, ethical, skilled practitioners who are committed to treating Retinitis Pigmentosa and other degenerative eye diseases. If anyone has positive experiences with other practitioners, please contact me at ricks.ingrid@gmail.com.
Note: This is only meant to be a resource guide — please do your own research before choosing a practitioner to work with. Methodologies vary significantly among practitioners and RP patients respond differently to treatments. Costs vary greatly as well. And from my personal experience, Costly treatment does NOT equal quality or better treatment.
