I feel that I must let you know that I had bad experiences with Johns Hopkins, even though i had a real "in". Not with Dr. F, I never got that far. However I had very bad experiences with the pre- operative tests, EMG, and scalene block, etc. and got so turned off that I decided not to continue with that institution. mainly had to do with the residents doing all the work with no oversight- scary. Please feel free to PM me for more detail.

btw, i recently had surgery in denver that went well.
