Title: Has anyone seen any doctors in NYC?
Post by: Mvalentino on February 23, 2015, 09:03:46 pm: I was diagnosed with an AN about a year ago. I have being seeing a doctor at Mt.Siani but at this point I would like to get a second opinion. Any thoughts.

Put in the names of the doctors mentioned by NYLady and you'll come up with a plethora of posts mentioning those doctors.

Post by: Mvalentino on February 26, 2015, 07:11:13 pm: I am new to this but after review of people's posts on here I would like to give more information about my AN. I was diagnosed last year age age 33 with a 3x 5 mm size AN. Fortunately after a few MRIs my tumor has not grown at all and I have little to no symptoms at this point. I have her wonderful thimgs about Dr Roland and Dr G neither of which take my insurance. I am newly married and want to have a baby and would like a second opinion to see what my options are. My doctor so far is Dr Smouha and someone he works closely with Dr Post of Mt Siani in NYC.
any thoughts?

You have options with a small stable tumor. In addition to the doctors at Mt. Sinai and NYU, Dr. Sisti at Columbia, who does surgery and radiation, and Dr. Philip Gutin at Memorial Sloan Kettering teams with Dr. Selesnick at Cornell, are well regarded.

He is absolutely amazing. He only operates on larger tumors, but he is literally a rockstar in the field and he was recommended to me by another outstanding neurosurgeon that I know personally. He specializes in acoustics. Hope this helps.
