Is there a good way to find Doctors in my geographic region that understand or specialize in treating adults with ACEs?

Don, there are a number of ACE initiatives going on the Philadelphia area. I couldn't tell from the zipcode on your member profile where in "eastern Pennsylvania" you are. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is apparently supporting some of those initiatives. If you go to the box in the upper right corner of the aces connection page, "alerts" and "dialogues" are boxed beside one another. You could identify other "eastern Pennsylvania" members by going to the "Members" column in the darker blue strip below the "Log In"/"Alerts/"/"Dialogues" Box. If you scroll down on the 5 options to the bottom, it will give you a map. Symbols similar to a "shaded" exclamation point will appear where there are one or more members. You could get their names and initiate a private dialogue.
or, If you post a similar inquiry like the one on this group page, in the "Blog" section, You may get multiple responses.

Just a point of clarification, I am hoping to find a "general practitioner"/family doctor/internist. When I watched the TED talk from Dr. Nadine Burke Harris it made me realize why I may have positive experiences being treated by a doctor, while somebody with a high ACE score may never get the aggressive medical treatment that will actually cure physical conditions brought on by or magnified by ACEs.
