Hi all. I am in the process of scheduling many doctor appointments. Has anyone been to UofM for a consultation or for their treatment? My insurance is going to give me problems with leaving the state, so Im trying to find my best options in state first. I am going to Michigan Ear Institute tomorrow. I am going to UofM next Thursday. I sent my MRI and reports to House. Still very scared and confused...

I am in Michigan too and have meet with the Michigan Ear Institute. I have a follow up with them for more tests and am also getting a second option from UofM.
I'd welcome learning about your experience with both places and which specific physicians you met with.
Thanks.

I have scheduled my surgery with Dr. Babu and Dr. Pieper at Michigan Ear. I did meet with Dr. Arts at UofM. I also sent my MRI and reports to House. Each dr and I spoke with gave me the same suggestion as to the type of surgery. I chose MEI because I felt more comfortable with Dr. Babu, I also liked the fact that Dr. Pieper has done over 100 AN surgeries just this past year, which was more than Dr. Thompson (the neurosurgeon at UofM). It was a tough couple weeks with the diagnosis and figuring everything out..but I did feel a small, very SMALL sense of relief when I scheduled my surgery. Hope that helped.
