0 Berta Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) There are cases on that condition at the BVA web site:This is the BVA search page:http://www.index.va.gov/search/va/bva.jspIt is possible that you could nartrow the search down to your VARO and hopefully find the initials of an independent doctor who opined on the same type of claim.Wirth their initials the search could be narrowed down by googling the type of doctor who should opine on this type of disability.I assume that you would need a one to one exam, but maybe not.....However have you actually been denied by VA already or just seeking the IMO for an Initial claim you are filing?Many here have obtained IMOs while never even meeting the IMO doctor,. It depends on many factors.Any doctor doing an IMO has to follow the IMO criteria here at hadit,in our IMO forum because VA is familar with that format.( I based that criteria on the way Dr. Bash did 2 IMOs for me)It is possible that Dr. Craig Bash , as a NeuroRadiologist, would have expertise in the field of your disability. He has done many many IMos and will be our guest on the Wednesday AM radio blog show here at hadit..I assume, and could sure be wrong, that you have already had X rays and /or CTs done on your hips.You could give him a call during the show at the call in number 1-347-237-4819 to see if he in fact has expertise in this field or could possibly recommend someone closer to you.Were you treated for this inservice? Do you have a copy of your SMRs? Edited November 24, 2014 by Berta Link to comment
