I am in San Antonio, we know a brilliant Neuro-surgeon who doesn't do the surgery but his group does. I don't know where you live but if there was anyway to get here and get an appointment I think you would be pleased with what you find here. Hope this helps. I am not a candidate for the surgery but he told me if and when I am he knows the best doctor to do the surgery.

I've been told I'll be a good candidate for this procedure. However, as I begin to look into it I'm finding a lot of newcomers who seem to be "getting into the business". Even some small hospitals are claiming competence. I still have plenty of time but I'm starting to work on it now while time is still on my side. Any ideas or suggestions will be gratefully accepted.... :=).
