Hey,

I know of Dr. McLanahan.
My neurosurgeon since December 2002 has been Dr. Martin Henegar of CSNA in Charlotte, NC. He is very good and has saved my life on several occasions. He has done the ETV procedure and has considered all his options and my opinion before he does something different. Also in High Point, NC there is Dr. Victoria Neave.

My only options now are the ETV procedure if I continue to have more scar tissue or the VA shunt in my 3rd and 4th ventricles.

The Hydrocephalus Association website has a list of all the children and adult neurosurgeons that participate in funding all kinds of research and new procedures. You can find them by going to the website and putting in your state for example NC.

I have to agree, this is a great thread!!

I am too from the UK.

for all you guys, with children under the age of 18, Great ormond street is surely the best hospital you could possibly be referred to.

I have a great NeuroConsultant/Surgeon.
Mr William Harkness
Others at GOSH include:
Professor Richard Hayward
Mr Dominic Thompson.

Hey! What an awesome idea for a thread! I personally live in Georgia(USA). My neurosurgeon is awesome. He actually listens to me and cares about me. He also goes way above and beyond to find shunt problems where the 2 neurosurgeons I had before him(one retired and referred me to another who moved out of state who referred me to the one I have now) were more of the mind set that if the CT scan and shunt series doesn't show it then the problem doesn't exist. For any in this area his name is Dr. David Wrubel with Scottish Rite hospital. ~Melissa~

My surgeon Mr Selway is at kings College Hospital London uk is the best!I wouldn`t be here if I had gone to my local hospital!
