Regarding Dr. Filler's MRN there has been alot on the pudendal hope forum trying to figure out which is better his MRN or Dr. Potter's MRI. So far there have been several confirmations of of what she has seen on the MRI by surgical decompression of the pudendal nerve. The best part she looks at all the other nerves in the pelvis, muscles, tendons, etc. Insurance companies will pay for her MRI but they usually do not pay for the MRN. There have been a fair number of individuals on the pudendal forum who have had the MRI with her and leave with information that matches their symptoms.
When you call make sure they know you need the sciatic nerve looked at specifically with any specific areas of the sciatic nerve, hamstring, maybe even the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve as there is some overlap with innervation.
Good luck.

I apologize I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Yes, Dr. Hollis Potter did do all my MRI reviews and from my experience she was wonderful. I had to have quite a few because I have titanium in my arm and MRI's are not very clear when titanium exist so sometimes they had to be repeated. But the "special MRI" machine is suppose to be the best and only available at HSS. I believe Dr. Schwartzman even sends patients up to NYC for this special MRI.
