Q: I am a graduate student and have recently done research on the topic of the neurological, psychological, and physiological effects of spanking on children.
I have designed an educational brochure on this topic and am interested in speaking with a neurologist about this subject.
Would it be possible to put me in touch with a neurologist who could shed light on this topic?
Thank you,

Neurosurgeon Response:
A: There are many good neurologists and you can contact them by simply asking your local hospitals whether they have pediatric neurologist that they can refer you to. I do not know the pediatric neurologists in your area. An internet search in which you plug in "Forestville NY" and "pediatric neurologist" may also prove helpful. That said, you may find that this topic is more relevant to a pediatric psychiatrist or psychologist.
Thanks for the question.
