I had a MAC test done in Denver. Before my unsuccessful pec minor surgery with Doc Sanders, he had me get one with Dr. Machanic. Apparently it shows some nerve issues that everyone else misses. Mine was positive.

I had an MRA with Doc Collins and he said that if I ever decided to get surgery, I should go with Doc Gelabert and not Ahn. I told Dr. Angle that and he laughed. He knows all three of the Doctors and said Dr. Collins is an excellent radiologist and knows his stuff. Dr. Angle looked at the report for Collin's MRA and said it was accurate based on his exam with me (I have subclavian vein probs and neuro).
Thanks this is all good info. Did he say why to go with Gelabart and not Ahn? That is my gut feeling too. Where is dr. Mechanic? I dont have arterial or venous symptoms so I dont see why I would need an Angiogram or MRA.

So you had Pec Minor surgery based on the Mac test and it didnt work?
Do you think the test is unreliable then?

Did you like Dr. Angle? I cant remember have you had the surgery yet?
