Finding a Doctor

The question is frequently asked in the Discussion Forum or via e-mail "Where can I find a doctor?"

Sadly, most General Practioners have very limited and often inaccurate knowledge about Tourette Syndrome. 

The TSA publish a list of Psychiatrists or Neurologists who specialise in the treatment of Tourette Syndrome and it's associated conditions such as ADHD and OCD.   The Referral List is not available online, but you may contact the TSA for details   Website

I am unable to personally recommend any particular doctor, but from those discussions in the forum, here are a few of the larger Tourette Clinics who have been recommended by visitors to this site:

	The Tourette Clinic, the National Hospitals for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queens Square, London
	Tourette Clinic, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, London
	The Tourette Clinic, Queen Elizabeth Psychiatric Hospital, Edgbaston, Birmingham
	The Learning Assessment Centre, Horsham, West Sussex
	St Mary's Hospital, Manchester

This list does not at all represent all those available -  many of the specialists may work alone in smaller clinics.  Please ask in the Discussion Forum about others, or contact the TSA
