Hi, Renoites: Dr. Kim Burchiel, Oregon Health Sciences University, is also doingthis procedure. By air, from Reno to Portland is just a "hop"?? Anyway, it is two years since we saw Dr. B. for the first time and he showed us the video of that procedure. At that time he had 12 patients, I believe. he stated he thinks it is the future as it is less invasive. I daresay your doctor can find his name and phone him --the old Doctor to Doctor --. I know you would like his staff. They have been caring and supportive. Let us know.. Gordon doing well--we had our 45th anniversay and gave a big party--his idea. We were both exhausted but so what??>
