physicans: questions
« on: March 12, 2010, 08:27:34 pm »
Helllo,


Anyone knows Dr. Takanori Fukushima? anyone has been treated AN with him?

How about Dr. Jose Fajad at the HEI?


Thank you.

Dr. Fukushima performed my surgery.  I had a large (almost 4cm) tumor and have recovered well.  I strongly recommend him if you have a challenging case.

Use the search tool in this forum category.   I can't remember who, but someone wrote a long testimonial to Dr. Fukushima at Duke.  Highly recommended.    I don't remember anyone mentioning Dr. Fayad of House Clinic.  However, House Clinic is renown for AN surgery (many of the micro-surgery techniques were developed at House).

Mi -

I think this is the thread OTO is referring to:

Hope it helps,

Although this is an old post, Dr. Fukushima did my surgery in February, 2008.  I had an excellent result and would highly recommend him.

Yikes!  This IS an old thread.  Didn't even notice that when I replied.  Guess I need more sleep  ::)
