recommendations for the northwest area

Hi -
We live in the northwest and I am interested in finding someone who can give us a second opinion on TN and what options are open to us in our particular situation.

I know that UCLA has a good centre but was hoping for good recommendations further north - Seattle, Bellingham.

We'd like to look in to gamma knife and neuro-surgery.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thank you.

Best wishes for a successful outcome, ee
