I did have my surgery with Peter Black and believe there IS a huge difference between the care he gave me compared to what I would have received from other highly regarded surgeons.  I am hesitant to write details here, but anyone who wants to email me, I will be glad to be more specific and explain why.  As an aisde, Black was just elected President of the World Federation of Neurosurgeons, and I certainly see why.

Hey Buzzy

Great news on Dr. Black. I know of others here that recently met with him for their AN's and found instant comfort levels with him.  I didn't know about his new "role" and thanks for sharing it with us.

Still hoping you make the brunch on the 25th. :)

Just to throw one more name into the ring - Dr. Heilman at Tufts Medical Center. As we all know you have to "click" with your doc or it's not going to work. Just make sure you do a few interviews and you will find the right one for you. For me it was definitely Dr. Heilman. Great surgery and excellent care at Tufts (for the 2 days I was there).
Best of luck, Helga

Late to this dance but figured I'd chime in.

I can't say enough about the McKenna/Barker team...especially Dr. McKenna....not only an extraordinary surgeon but also an extremely caring and compassionate human being.
