assume that you have a recommendation for this procedure from your dad's neurologist. If that is a fact may I also tell you that I am having my pallidotomy in Toronto with Dr. Lozano on May 13. Along with Emory University (close to a two year wait) Dr. Lozano is one of the top neurosurgeons in North America. The telephone # 416-603-6200 the secretary's name is MARYANN It is sometimes very difficult to connect with her she takes messages on her machine however, she does respond to phone or fax's I am completely confident with Dr. Lang (the neurolgist) as well as Dr. Lozano. In your case, being so far away, you may suggest that if your PD neurologist faxes all the details to the Toronto team so that you can combine both the interview and op during the same visit. Thats what I'm doing. good luck shalom shalom joyce tames [log in to unmask]
