Laurin,

I'm the forum member that Jean referred to in her post. Dr. Linskey did my MVD a little over three years ago, and so far (knock on wood) everything has gone perfectly. In my opinion, Dr. Linskey is the best there is surgically, and he's also a wonderful, caring person. I had lots of people wonder why I didn't have my surgery done locally, and my response is always "if someone is going to cut into my head, I'm only going to have the best do it!"

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns, or if you just want to talk with someone who's been there/done that. I know how hard it was for me to go through this - I can't even imagine how hard it is to see your son in that much pain.

Susan
