Default Drs in Melbourne

Hi Jenn

I am now on more referrals than I care to go to nor can afford in Melbourne. My previous Vascular's and Neuro are not advisable and I dont think they have TOS experience. Its very hard to find an actual specialist here. I am looking at The Alfred Hospital being the best place to have the surgery with a better vascular unit than all other hospitals in my 3 year search in Melbourne.

Here is who I have found which is an option if you have private insurance. This Dr actually has TOS experience and is also linked to a Neuro who looks great also

If you want to go public get your GP to refer through The Alfred's Vascular Clinic http://www.alfredhealth.org.au/Asset...l_Vascular.pdf

My last Neuro and Vascular after 12 months have just been found to have missed c ribs and nerve issues on my brachial plexus they said were on the left but the MRI results say the right side. MR Terry Devine is Useless and getting long in the tooth and close to retirement. I dont think he really understands TOS. Dr Adrian Ling who was my 2nd Vascular is not experiences either so I would try the links above for the best option. We dont have an actual specialist unit in a major hospital like there is in the US so it takes a lot of research and Dr shuffles to find the right one. Feel free to PM me anytime.
