I am glad to hear you already got an appointment, I just found out my friend has Syringomyelia and I have been trying to find a specialst. Considering this condition is so rare, not many doctors specialize in this area. During my reasearch, Dr Barth Green is the BEST anywhere around!! I hope your appointment went well. I was glad to hear he is still seeing patients and you got in soooo quickly!! Thank you, Julie
