Permalink Reply by Jaime G. on February 17, 2012 at 4:28pm Hi Olga, I see Surgeons at New York Presbyterian-Cornell Weill. My Neuroradiologist: Athos Patsalidies. My Neurosurgeon: Howard Riina (who is at New York University now). They saved my life.
Permalink Reply by BEANIE on April 7, 2012 at 6:01pm Hi Jaime, I saw your comment about New York Presbyterian. I had my AVM removed by Dr. Bennett Stein back in March of 1985. Dr Stein was the only Dr. at the time doing this surgery. I was living in Phila., and no one there would touch me! The sent me there, at the time it was Columbia Presbyterian. I suffered a stroke at age 20, lost my perephial vision to the left, but I'm alive! I worked up until Feb of this year and finally gave up because of siezures. There were some young doctors there in training but I don't remember their names. I would refer my family to this hospital no matter how far away it is!
I hope all who are reading this are doing well and remember there is hope.
Pain gave me faith, faith gave me courage, Courage gave me strength & strength gave me Hope!

Permalink Reply by JH on February 17, 2012 at 10:38pm The number of AVMs a doctor treats and his/her number of publications on AVMs are important to me...when we were looking for a tri-state-area doctor, the top finds in our plan were Berenstein in NYC and Rosenwasser in Phila. Rosenwasser's at Jefferson, which treats more AVMs than anywhere else in the country (I think...check their website!)
Permalink Reply by Mare on April 8, 2012 at 6:50am Dr. Rossenwasser in Philadelphia saved my life and has an amazing staff who support and help throughout the journey.....well worth trip, I live in Jersey. Blessings to you on whoever you choose. If you need any information contact me..... xoxox Mare
