Dr F is the most experienced surgeon in the treatment of the cysts.
Here are the names of the other neurosurgeons I came across but at least one expert, Donlin Long, the former chair of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins, has retired.
Dr. William Welch, Vice Chair, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Pennsylvania
Dr. Phillip Weinstien, Professor of Neurological Surgery, University of California -San Franscisco
Dr. Anne Oaklander, a professor at Harvard Medical School, also studies and treats pain due to the cysts.
Also part of the problem is that symptomatic Tarlov cysts under diagnosed and under treated. Physicians have been classically trained to ignore them despite nothing in medical literature supporting this position except for that not all cysts cause symptoms.
Hope this helps
