Val,

My surgeon was Dr. Mark Glyman, he is both a dentist and MD. Dental

trained in California and MD at Harvard. I know that no matter where

trained doesn't make for a good doctor, but I feel he did a great job

with me. He also works with Dr. Venger, a neurosurgeon, to do his

cranio reconstruction patients. Also very compasionate, even towards

family and/or spouse.....he called out to the waiting room 4 times

during my surgery to keep them at ease.

Did your ortho recommend the doc in Dallas? When are you to have

your surgery?
