Thank you; yes, I've heard only good things about Dr. Pearl, however, he's in Dallas and I'm near Houston. I will certainly travel to see him but I've heard that there are excellent TOS specialists in the Houston area also, but I don't know which ones they are? I've seen Dr. Azzizadeh in the past who was anxious to jump into surgery right away; this made me nervous, especially considering the nature of these surgeries and the complications. Does anyone have experience, good or bad with Dr. Azzizadeh? Another name that I've heard of is Dr. Peter Lin. Any other Houston TOS specialists (if there are any) that I can research, or should I just commit to seeing Dr. Pearl? Thank you!
