Title: University of Michigan vs. Michigan Ear Institute ???
Post by: ewchisek on December 20, 2012, 04:08:22 pm

Hi all! I have been to uofm, mei, and sent my MRI scans to house.  ALL three doctors recommend translab due to size of tumor.  because of this I am choosing to stay in state.  NOW for the choice of Michigan Ear with dr. pieper or uofm with dr. thompson??  any advice?

When I had my AN surgically removed in 2007, rumor had it that MEI was #2 in AN surgeries and HEI (House Ear Institute) was supposedly #1.

Don't know if that's true or not, but it's food for thought.

That said, I've heard that U of M and MEI are both great places.

Good luck with whichever choice you make.

Thank you. I booked my surgery at MEI for February 11. Wishing it was a little sooner, it's been a long month since being diagnosed!

Hello.  I'm new to the community and am facing a similar circumstance.  I live in the Metro Detroit area, and have appointments to see both MEI and U of M.  I have also booked an appointment at the Mayo clinic.  I realize this thread was started a while ago, but how were your results?  Who at the MEI did you see?
Pro's and cons?
thank you.
