Permalink Reply by Seth Middleton on December 13, 2011 at 2:29pm I'm willing to take what I know and that's Mr. Singer from Vanderbilt. It's in Nashville, TN. It's not within range for you I know but he's one that I would recommend. I had my surgery last May and he really done it good. He's like one of the top guys in the field. I'd recommend him and all.
I'm seeing Dr robert Solomon and Dr philp Meyers over at columbia preysbertian...nyc
Permalink Reply by Tracy Dougherty on January 27, 2012 at 6:29pm Dr Veznederoglu in Hamilton, New Jersey. Graet doctor, He coiled my ruptured aneurysm and embolized my AVM. Happy to say AVM is stable and I am still under the watchful eye of one of nicest doctors I have ever met. Good Luck!

I just recently saw Dr. L. Dade Lunsford at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh PA. I was referred to him by a Neurosurgeon at U-Penn. I looked him up online and was very impressed with his list of credentials. He was the first to bring the Gamma Knife to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the first center in the USA to offer Gamma Knife. Here is the website: http://www.neurosurgery.pitt.edu/faculty/lunsford.html
I went to see him last week for the first time. I was very impressed with the time that both he and his P.A. spent with me. Everything was thoroughly explained and well organized; not to mention how nice everyone was. As a matter of fact, when I went to see the nurse in the Gamma area to sign forms, etc....I was asked how I was able to get Dr. Lunsford. I was told by this nurse that he is one of the best, if not the best in the USA.
I hope this helps you. :-)
I can recommend Dr. Lunsford of Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. He has been treating my daughter for 13+yrs now. Good Luck !
Bev, we must live not too far away from one another! I live a couple hours north of Pittsburgh. Yes, I really liked him and his staff! Thanks for the post; it's reassuring for me!

Permalink Reply by MelJay on February 3, 2012 at 9:20pm I'm not sure where in Jersey you live, but if you are willing to go to NYC, Dr. Alex Schick is my neurologist. He is FANTASTIC!!! He is very knowledgeable and he is a caring neurologist (hes not only in it for the paycheck..) he is thorough and kind to all of his patients. He is located on 3rd avenue and 20th street, so he is easily accessible both with public transit, and cars... good luck!
