I have not seen one center. Mayo does not believe in AI diseases. Most that have come to Rochester have left very discouraged.

Johns Hopkins - Been there and it's a great place to go.  I saw Dr. Birnbaum (and alot of others) and liked him.  Hope you're near Baltimore (we travelled from NJ) it is worth the trip.
