I guess I just became a new member of your group.  I was diagnosed last Friday so I'm still reeling.  I live on Long Island but was referred to a dr in Boston so I have an appt with him on Tuesday.  I've heard he's great but there must be greatness in NY too?  If anybody has any names for me, I'd appreciate it.  This is so scary!

I had surgery for my AN on January 10th at NYU Medical center by Dr. Roland (http://www.med.nyu.edu/people/J.Roland.html) and Dr. Golfinos (http://www.med.nyu.edu/people/J.Golfinos.html).  I highly recommend them, great surgeons plus great people, not always what you will find when consulting for a treatment. 

Keep in mind you have options open to you, I took the microsurgical route....I couldn't be more satisfied.  My AN was 1cm X 1cm X 7mm, surgery took 3.5 hours, and my hospital stay was 4 days, I was driving around weeks 3/4 post-op and went back to work after week 6 post-op.  I feel great, no complications.

If you need more information regarding the two individuals I mentioned above please send me an email.

You will be fine...I believe this is the toughest part...it was for me.

Thanks, Joe.  Dr. Roland was actually one of the 2 names I have been referred to. It's good to hear something about him from you.  Have you heard of Dr. Selesnick with New York/Cornell Hospital? I sure hope this is the hardest part!

I consulted with Dr Selesnick.  I also sent my MRI to House in LA and consulted with Dr Brackmann.  Dr Roland was my choice for many reasons.

Joe-

gclark:
I have appts set up with both of them.  Not to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about but I don't...what or who is House?

Thanks,
Gail
