Is a general surgeon that also takes in vascular. He is a good doctor and welll liked but how much experience he has in TOS is beyond me. There is also a Dr. Alan Lundsren who is with Methodist and IS a vascular surgeon. I was seeing a physiatrist here in Houston (she is great) for this who said the best docs are in Denver. But, I would certainly try the best kind of physical "gentle" therapy before I was cut on. Surgery is not always the answer and can make one worse in the wrong hands or inexpereinced hands.
Good Luck to you.
