I am officially on short-term disability from work now. I am going to move forward with surgery. I have seen Drs. Gelabert, Ahn, and Niren Angle. I will see Dr. Roy Fujitani at UC Irvine next week. I plan to select a surgeon by the end of next week. I am already heavily leaning towards Angle...my wife and I really liked him as well as the facilities at St. Joseph's Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo.

I have finally found a Physical Therapy provider near me which specializes in treating TOS. and is accepted by my insurance, Ando & Aston
Physical Therapy in Anaheim Hills. This helps ease my post-surgical anxiety as the people I have found previously are too far to drive regularly and/or don't accept my insurance.

For anyone in Orange County, Melissa Ricker is an amazing Masssage Therapist for TOS:
