Hi All,

My name is Lauren, I just turned 23, and I was just diagnosed with a 12mm Chiari Type 1 Malformation. I am waiting to be contacted by a neurologist at Oregon Health Sciences University, but am wondering if there is anyone out there that knows of a good surgeon in Oregon?

It has been just short of a week since I was diagnosed, and I have done some research on the condition, but am still very new to what is going on with me. Any information or insight that anyone would care to share would be much appreciated!

Lauren
