I live in New Jersey. Willing to travel throughout the state. My neurologist who treated me during my two brain bleeds retired and I would like to know if any of you could suggest a good doctor. Thanks!

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

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!

Talk to Dr Arthur Day at Bringham & Woman's Hospital at 75 Francis St. Boston, MA 02115 or (617)-732-6824. He's the man who fixed my avm. I was stunned, I was so surprised the difference the next day after the surgery. Dr Day didn't play games! He is The Man! If it's not to far to be in Boston, you might still ask about them there...can't hurt! In your prayers!

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!

I will like to recommend Dr Daniele Rigamonti at Johns Hopkins hospital (Baltimore)...
He saved my life. I had a complicated craniotomy but it was perfect.. He is very caring and humble person.

Hi Emily I don't know what part of Jersey you live in,I'm from Philadelphia and I go to Jefferson Hospital.My doctor is AMAZING his name is Dr Robert Rosenwasser he is one of the best (look him up)You can call 1-800-JEFF-NOW or 215-955-7000 I hope your doing well good luck with your search

Hi Emily, I am from Chester County, PA. I initially went to Brandywine Emergency Hospital on January7, 2012 they sent me to Thomas Jefferson Neuroscience. I has surgery on January 13, 2012 sent home January 17, 2012. I had three surgeons, Dr. Gonzalez, Dr. Judy and Dr. (sorry can't remember the third Dr.'s name) but they were fantastic. I get and MRI on 2/29/12 and see Dr. Gonzalez for my follow up visit. Best of luck

Hi, Being in NJ the travel might be far but our well published Doctor is known to be very good. He treated my wife and works at one of the worlds best hospital. ( St Joseph Barrows Hospital in Phoenix. Dr. Nakaji.

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!
