Hi Jenn, my name is Angeline and I live in Savannah. I have a Chiari I and I will be having a decompression surgery in early June with Dr. Daniel Suh. He's been incredibly easy to talk to and I have a lot of confidence in him. He trained at Emory, and he's probably around 40 years old.
I am Critical Care Nurse at St. Joseph's in Savannah, so I pretty much know all the doctors. I know it's a bit of a drive, but I thought I'd respond anyway. Let me know if you should have any questions about Dr Suh, Chiari, or the surgery.
