Don't know who is best. Dr. Coelho was my neurotologist and works with Dr. Broaddus, neurosurgeon. I would not hesitate using them again, or recommending them. Dr. Broaddus also works with Dr. Chang when radiation is called for - again, no hesitation to use him again or refer others to him.

I'll be glad to talk to you directly, if you would like to call or email.

I'm in Richmond, VA. I used Dr. Sahni at Johnston Willis Hospital. There is a separate Gamma Knife/NeuroSurgery departement. I've been told he was the very best. There is not one person I have found that says a bad thing about him at all.

Just my opinion, but I would certainly sit down with him and talk to him before you make your decision. He is one of the Top Docs on the East Coast.
