Greetings..
Happy Holidays to everybody, I am 25 years old, and 2 weeks ago I had my Middle Fossa surgery on my Acoustic Neuroma and received the best birthday and Christmas gifts ever. Dr. Friedman preserved 100% of my hearing, 100% of my facial nerve, and the tumor was resected 100% as well. I was out of the hospital in 2 days with little swelling/pain/dizziness and switched to just using Tylenol. I was able to go out Christmas shopping shortly after. I firmly believe Dr. Friedman and the Acoustic Neuroma team at Keck Medical Center USC, Los Angeles, is the solution for everybody with an Acoustic Neuroma. I am extremely grateful for his expertise in this field, and his deep interest and caring in a patients quality of life. I strongly believe if I went elsewhere for this surgery, I would not have had this 100% pristine outcome. I had to travel from Washington State to L.A., but it was more than worth it to be given my life back. I would strongly recommend contacting Dr. Friedman for a telephone consultation before making any decisions.
May everyone find the tranquility that I found with my choice.
