I live in DC and consulted with 4 different surgeons including the big names - Dr. Donahue was hands down the best choice for me and I am so happy I went with him even though it meant going to Boston. I am 7 weeks post op and doing great. Call Dr. D if you can for at least a consult before you make up your mind - his expertise in venous TOS and amazing bedside manner made my surgery a success.

Hi, I just had rib resection done by Dr. Farid Garahgazloo using robotics, at Reston Hospital, curious if you interviewed him and did Dr. Donahue use the robotic procedure. Did you have to have angioplasty/stent for the vein?
