if my wife would have listened to the two hot shot orthos at HSS , Hospital for Special Surgery in manhattan, she would not have a leg today, what they told her was absolutely the wrong thing to do as we found out. She got a few more opinions and the last one at hospital for joint disease in manhattan Dr. Feldman saved her leg. this doesnt help you with your neuro search but shows that you have to be your own advocate and research what they are doing especially if it involves surgery. Cornell Weill has top notch PN neuros in NYC.
