Title: Has anyone ever used Dr Choe and Shirivastava at Mt Sinai?
Post by: v357139 on March 16, 2013, 11:53:41 am

I am considering Dr Choe and Shrivastava at Mt Sinai.  They recommend retrosig, while a different hospital recommends translab.  I do still have some hearing.  Has anyone used or heard of Choe and Shrivastava at Mt Sinai in NYC?

When I was first diagnosed with the AR my doctor recommended Doctor Choe. I didn't end up using him (I never ended up meeting with him) because practically everyone else I spoke to recommended Dr. John Roland in NYU. He has done tons of these surgeries and I felt very comfortable with him. He is someone I would at least meet with. Good luck on your search and best of luck on your surgery.

All the best,

Eli

Thanks I met Roland and I know he is good.  But he recommends translab, and I'd at least like to try and save my 65% hearing.  I know chances are low, but I'd like to at least try.
