Quite a few people from there have used him because he is so knowdlegeable about POTS and also though about EDS . He is very thorough, conservative, emploies a team approach to make sure every base is covered. He reads his own mri'sfor himself. What you need to do is to send him your latest MRI films. He will look at them and if he thinks he has anything to offer you, he will inviite you in.He won't just operate on everyone. I got three opions and he was the ONLY docotr that gave me a thorough exam and touched my body!!! I went to top teaching hospitals too. Good luck and if I can answer any questions, let me know. .. ps... please excuse the late night typing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
