Definitely! You can request to talk to a certain surgeon when you send in your documents, and I would recommend Dr. Schwartz. He is a genius!!

Keep in mind Dr. Friedman is the Neurotologist so he will open/close your head. However, Dr. Schwartz is the Neurosurgeon so he will actually be removing your tumor from your facial nerve.

They are both amazing though, you can't go wrong with either one of them!

Sorry the numbers don't seem to "add up" but I know for a fact that they normally perform 2 surgeries a day. I met the lady who had her surgery the same day as me. And when I tried to schedule my pre and post-op appointments, I could only do it on certain days of the week, because the other days were "surgery days".
Diagnosed Dec 2012: AN 1.4 cm with mild hearing loss and tinnitus. Surgery: Middle Fossa at House with Schwartz/Friedman on April 10, 2013. Entire tumor removed, no facial issues, no balance issues, and they preserved my hearing!! Co-leader of the Washington, DC ANA support group since 2016.
