Since Dr. Nath is NOT licensed in the state of Michigan we need to bring in a licensed Michigan doctor. We are working with a physiatrist who has worked with and is interested in these cases. This is who Courtney sees in Michigan and he keeps in contact with Dr. Nath regarding her surgeries, therapies and tests. Final details will follow as plans are secured.
