Dr. Garg has appeared on this List before (December, 2003). I checked him
out then and determined that he is not a neurosurgeon (not even close) and
this, in my opinion, his activities are suspect. Here follows my posting
regarding the results of my search on Dr. Garg:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I did some searching and discovered that Dr. Dinesh Garg, the neurosurgeon
touted for his new procedures involving "brain surgery", and use of stem
cells (from umbilical cord blood) with "brain cooling", does indeed hold a
New York State license to practice medicine.
He is not, however, trained or qualified as a neurosurgeon, or even as a
neurologist. His information (in the AMA archives) is:

He is an internist, who is not permitted to do any kind of surgery, let
alone brain surgery, in the United States.
It has been suggested that he left New York to return to India when it was
determined that his "facility" in New York, was just a mailing address and
not a real clinic or hospital.
Again, please be cautious!
