It depends on your insurance plan.  Most HMOs require referrals, but if you have a PPO or POS plan, you don't need one.  Just check that the specialist you want to see is in your network.\n\nBring with you any imaging films and reports you have, as well as results and reports from other testing that may have been done.  \n\nYou might also want to consult a Physiatrist - they are specialists in rehabilitative medicine.  Here are some links:\nhttp://www.physiatry.org/\nhttp://www.physiatry.com/\nhttp://www.spine-health.com/topics/conserv/physiatry/physiat01.html

I think your own primary care taker will tell you .\nYou can also go to Internal medicine (INternist) doctor first.\n\nHe will determine what needs to be done for you,and he will refer to the specialist.

If you aren't REQUIRED to get one, then don't. If they insist, have them pick the "independent" doctor. If not, get a refferal from yours.\n\nIn the even this does happen, get a third opinion.

If you suffer from certain diseases and conditions, seeing a neurologist may help you. A neurologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the central nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves in your body. \nIn addition to four years of premedical education and four years of medical school, the neurologist will complete at least three years of specialized training in an accredited neurology residency program.\nSome of the diseases and conditions treated by a neurologist are Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), various forms of dementia, sleep disorders, headaches, brain tumors, strokes, seizures, myasthenia gravis, and chronic pain.\n\nMany diseases and conditions treated by a neurologist are treated with medication and/or certain therapies. If your condition necessitates surgery, we will refer you to a neurosurgeon

My father in law had to go through a lot of paperwork before he got on. Just remember that it is a long process and you have to go to each and every appointment without fail. The first time you will always be denied. Your doctor is the only link you will have to getting on so make sure that your doctor is behind you 100%. It is going to take about 2 years before you start drawing a disability check so hang in there. Don't hire one of those lawyers who say they can help because you will end up paying money to them unnecessarily. It is possible to do it on your own. It is just one BIG headache.

Actually it's still best to see a doctor in person.  But you can chance it here, for instance.  They may not identify themselves but you could get sound answers/ opinions.  At least give you an idea, as to what you have or what you can do.
