Default Hi llhover
I highly recommend Columbia University Medical Center. It is a teaching facility, and does research, trials etc. I was with them for about 11 years, and the treatment I received was wonderful. I have auto immune conditions, and Mayo clinic in Mn, sent me there for a trial study. They also have one of the finest medical research libraries around. ginnie

I know this is a really late reply, but I also see neurologist/surgeon in Springfield & I feel at such a loss. I'm always in such pain & was wondering if you have had any luck with finding anyone new?

I just recently moved out of the metro KC area where I was told by neuro after Neuro I was either a drug seeker, my herniation didn't warrant surgery, or they didn't specialize in it. I did find a clinic in Aurora Colorado that specializes only in Arnold Chiari but never followed my gut. If that is too far you might want to consider checking into via internet and phone research the Diamond Headache Clinic in the Chicago area.
