Re: Neurologist and/or RLS Doctors in Los Angeles Area

Thank you! Palo Alto is up in the SF Bay area (about 5 hours from here) but from the link you provided above, I see that there is a Quality Care Center in the San Diego area (La Jolla). It's a 2 hour drive from here. I'll be reaching out to them. Again, thank you sooo much!
