Title: Dr. Akrira Ishiyama (UCLA)
Post by: tonyc on February 02, 2016, 11:20:45 am
Did anyone do surgery on AN with Dr. Akrira Ishiyama (UCLA)? If you can share the results, that would be great.

My An was first diagnosed (8mm x 4mm x 4mm) in 2010. Now  it growed to the size of 13mm x 6mm x 6mm in 2016. I experienced two episodes of vertigo (first in 2010, the second in 2016). Most likely I will choose between Dr. Rick Friedman and Dr. Akria Ishiyama. Any insightful comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony.....

I do not know anything about Dr. Ishiyama, but I do know that Dr. Rick Friedman is a highly respected, excellent surgeon with wonderful bedside manners!

Thank you Clarice. This is a wonderful group, especially for a newbie . After reading more and more information in all the threads, now I understand better about the AN. I hope I can find the right doctor for my treatment.
