It was nearly one year from my first contact with Dr. Feigenbaum until the day of my surgery. During that time I underwent a series of tests at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. The final test was a temporary nerve block, which confirmed the source of the muscle spasms.
As for travel and lodging in Dallas, I know nothing about that, as my surgery was performed in Kansas City when Dr. Feigenbaum practiced at the Research Medical Center there. I would suggest you contact the staff at Dr. Feigenbaum's office and request information from them regarding hosing recommendations while in Dallas.
If you would like to speak directly with me, Private Message me and we can exchange phone numbers. I'm here to help.

David... I hope this is how I contact you.. I am new to this site. I am having surgery with Dr. F on December 20... and I am nervous. I am one of those people whose symptoms come and go.. and are not as severe as some I have seen on here. I wonder if I am doing the right thing to have surgery when I am not as bad as some people.. and nervous that if I don't do it now insurance will not pay for it later, as I am only approved through the end of the year. I would really love to talk to you... but I don't know how the site works and I am not sure how I can reach you. I can give you my phone number if you get this... thanks
