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 see Dr Lucienne Reid-Duncan in Egg Harbor Township, NJ for neurology. She's wonderful and her bedside manner is great too. She's out of Atlantic Care group. My Neurosurgeon, Dr Ciro Randazzo, is even better yet and he works out of Atlantic City Medical Center, City division and is affiliated with Jefferson. They are both great. They tell me what they're doing and why and also give me options before they do anything. If you would like more info on them please let me know!

RobinsonClan, We are sad to hear that you had two bleeds. My wife had her bleed last year April. Could you tell me where was your second bleed and what contributed to it? Did it occur within a year? We have so many questions and my wife is so terrified of having another bleed.
Was there any symptoms to the second one? We sorry for the questions. We pray you will be okay.

My wife has a 4mm AVM left brain. She had a Gamma Knife treatment at Barrows,AZ. They are one of the world best in this type of procedures. Our Doctor is Dr. Nakaji who well published.

I have been lucky enough to never have had a bleed. I think you might have been replying to someone else. Sorry for the confusion! And I'm very sorry that you've had a bleed, I am so terrified that I'll have one as I still have my aneurysm and AVM. I had Gamma knife treatment as well and it has already started working. I'm very lucky. I've had amazing care and wonderful doctors and hospital care. Please, if you have any questions for me never hesitate to ask but I'm not sure you're directing them at the right person because I don't feel that I have the right answers. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Whatever you do, stay out of Philadelphia. If you have to go to Philadelphia, go to the University of Pennsylvania. I was at Jefferson, and they ruined my life. The lie to me, and did not care. The care that I receive was horrible at last. They did not care. Go to Arizona, and headed the Barrow Institute

I highly recommend Dr A. Berenstein, of Roosevelt Beth Israel Hospital in NYC. He is the head of the endovascular dept, top of the line staff and methods, years of experience, and most importantly a sweet demeanor with a great bedside manner. Works with pediatrics and adults. He saved my life, as he has done and G-d willing will continue doing with many more lives to come. Please feel free to contact me for more info... below is just one link about him...:
