A lot of people have posted their experiences with Drs. at Stanford.   I think Drs. Chang and Jackler.... use the forum search tool.   Also look in the Pre-Treatment Options subforum.  There is thread started by fbarbera, the title is Interview with Dr. Steven Chang of Standford.    Has good info from Dr. Chang.   You can also do an internet search of the Standford University Medical Center website, and it should have some links to their neurology department.   Good luck.

Dr. Steven Chang's email address is sdchang@stanford.edu. He will review your medical studies and give his recommendation for free. He practices both microsurgery and CyberKnife (radiotherapy), so you will get a balanced and unbiased opinion from him. He is my doctor and I can't say enough good things about him.

Best wishes,
