I'm new to the forum so I apologize if I'm asking something I'm not supposed to here. Am I able to ask specifically about certain TOS specialists? I did look on the Dr.s list but I would like to talk with people who have seen specific Dr.s in my area.

A quick way to find posts & members that know of those TX drs is to do a forum search on the drs names.
That will bring up posts or threads mentioning the drs.

Off hand I can't recall any recent mentions of TX TOS docs...but I could have missed them..

I think a Dr Pearl in TX does many TOS surgeries for professional athletes, so he has to be good..

Thank you; yes, I've heard only good things about Dr. Pearl, however, he's in Dallas and I'm near Houston. I will certainly travel to see him but I've heard that there are excellent TOS specialists in the Houston area also, but I don't know which ones they are? I've seen Dr. Azzizadeh in the past who was anxious to jump into surgery right away; this made me nervous, especially considering the nature of these surgeries and the complications. Does anyone have experience, good or bad with Dr. Azzizadeh? Another name that I've heard of is Dr. Peter Lin. Any other Houston TOS specialists (if there are any) that I can research, or should I just commit to seeing Dr. Pearl? Thank you!

You should get the best doctor you can afford.

Dr. Lin is in Houston and I've read excellent reviews by him on the TOS Facebook page.

Dr Lin performed my surgery 6 months ago. Right now I'm still trying to recover, but if u have a moment, u can read my 6 months post-op. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a private message.
