Newbie and want to know if anybody has gone with Dr Pensak in Cincinnati?

[lostindayton]

Hi, I wish I could say I was happy to be here but under the circumstances that is not the case. I had an MRI in July and was told I had a 1.2 cm AN in my left ear.  I have an appointment Sept 10 to see Dr Pensak. Does anybody have any input on him? I would like to get a second opinion also. Does anyone have a suggestion that would be close to Cincinnati?
Thanks
