After nearly two years of horrifying pain, I think that I've finally been diagnosed with TOS. I am in Los Angeles and I'm now searching for a surgeon to help me. I know that vascular surgeons perform this often, but I really want a neurosurgeon to perform the operation. In my research, I've found only a few in this area that do the procedure (or at least advertise that they do) and I have no idea how to choose the right one, aside from a brief personal meeting/consult.

None of them accept insurance, they are all considered pioneers in the field, all of them have great reviews and then even more horror stories.

Dr. Sheldon Jordan

Dr. John Knight

Dr. Aaron Filler

Dr. A. Lee Dellon in Nevada & Maryland

Guidance? Aside from telling me to meet with all of them and see who seems the most compassionate and helpful? They each have $500-700 consult fees. Also, any ideas of price ranges of TOS surgeries?

Thanks
