I am from the new york area and i had a leak from an epidural then had 3 blood patches. one of the blood patches created another hole( although i did not know it at the time). I had surgery with dr. schievink even though no scans showed my leak and he found both leaks and fixed them! I am now 9 months post op and have my life back! if you have any other questions just let me know

Thank you for your info!
I recently found doctors locally in San Francisco, CA.
UCSF Precision Spine and Peripheral Nerve Center, Dr. Hess.
We are currently trying to get an appointment.
If it doesn't go anywhere, I will definitely contact him!
Thanks!
