More people have talked about excellent experiences with Dr. donohue at MGH than with Dr. Freislag at John Hopkins. You can do a search to find the posts

Default MGH or Hopkins
Had a terrific experience with Dean Donahue at MGH leading to my pec minor tenotomy last week. Still early for comment on my TOS relief but the testing and the time spent with the surgeon was exceptionally great...the rationale was crystal clear.

If you read a post or two down, I messed-up. It's UC Davis she is going to and I'd agree with Heybro on his warning.

So does the red flag go to John Hopkins or Freishlag herself then? Any links I could check out?
