Apparently he is one of the pioneers of this surgery. He started doing it in the Air Force for all military personnel. Such a nice guy. I am about to have a MRI to make sure there is nothing wrong with my neck. He said I have all the signs of TOS and as long as there isn't any other issues I will need surgery. He suggested taking out 2 ribs and cutting the scalenes and releasing the pec minor. He also suggested botox for the scalenes. Anyone had this done? So thankful I found a doc who isn't a moron!
