Spinal Tumor
 

Hi,

I was diagnosed this week with a spinal tumor at the L2. I need a neursurgeon in the Portland/Seattle area that has many successful tumor removes form the spine and spinal cord. I don't trust my small town surgeon for something this risky.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Try Dr. Lyle Sorensen at Virginia Mason. He is an orthopedic oncologist and came highly recommended by several people. He performed a surgery on me yesterday to remove a bone tumor. When other doctors (orthopedic and other specialities) found out I was seeing him for the bone tumor, all of them said I was in good hands with him. He has a great bedside manner and explained my scans to me.

Good luck!
