Default Has anyone seen Dr. Fraser Henderson in Maryland for tarlov cyst treatment?

Hi, I am new to this site so please pardon me if this has already been addressed. I just want to know if any of you have seen Dr. Henderson and if so, what has been your experience. Thank you so much!

I questioned him at a pre-surgery appointment to ascertain if anyone was worse after surgery and he said in only 1 case where his assistant had completed the surgery. He claimed to have done approximately 200 Tarlov cysts before my surgery and upped that figure to 300 in discussion post-surgery 3 months later, claiming at the same time he did 1 per month--none of it adds up. He has no outcome data for his Tarlov cysts surgeries. He is a poor communicator, is not transparent, and disingenuous in my experience. The hospital he is associated with Drs. Community Hospital in Lanham, Maryland is a nightmare--dirty, incompetent staff, fined in 2009 by Maryland Health Board for it's performance and bent more on covering up ongoing incompetence than in improving care. If you've already opted for surgery, which in itself I would caution you against I hope you had a better experience than mine.

MYycousin **was treated for 2 Tarlov cysts by Dr. Henderson. After 3 weeks she felt 100% cured and no pain killers after 3 weeks. She had very little pain during 3 weeks too. Now it has been almost 3 years she is doing great. Do not listen to negative talks about Dr. Henderson. So many trust him, and all my family does. I will be lucky if he would accept to treat me. Good Luck, Wish you the best. If you see him you can tell him you that I referred you.
