Re: Please HELP! Need a specialist!

[Guest guest]

, I had a CWD this March in Chicago by Dr. Haberkamp at Rush University.

He is a specialist an Otolaryngologist. Although I was not thrilled with the

hospital in general the Doc is what counts. If interested his # is 312-942-9980.

Thanks Jeff! I will call my insurance and see what it takes to get

to a specialist outside my area.

If you're willing to go to Chicago, the Chicago Otology Group (they

have an office in Hinsdale - see http://www.chicagoear.com) is

probably the best around. Both Dr. Wiet or Dr. Battista are

excellent. And the staff there is very helpful.
