Has anyone had Dr Slattery and Schwartz at House?
« on: August 21, 2013, 02:50:32 pm »
I recently spoke to dr Slattery at House and am considering him and Dr Schwartz.  Can people share their experience?  Like to also discuss if possible.
Dx 2.6 cm Nov 2012, 35% hearing loss.  Grew to 3.5 cm Oct 2013.  Pre-op total hearing loss, left side tongue numb.  Translab Nov 2013 House Clinic.  Post-op no permanent facial or other issues.  Tongue much improved.  Great result!!

I had Dr. Friedman and Dr. Schwartz at House two years ago.  You probably already know that they work in teams.  Like Dr. Friedman, Dr. Slattery is a neuro-otolaryngologist and Dr. Schwartz is a neurosurgeon.  If the same as in my case, Dr. Slattery would do the entry and if translab, as in my case, the mastoidectomy.  Dr. Schwartz would do the actual tumor removal.

In my case, it was a second AN surgery so there was scarring from the first surgery.  Dr. Schwartz was wonderful to remove all of the regrown tumor, having to delicately work around all the scar tissue, without damage to my facial nerve.  I will forever be grateful!
