Common sense
 
Anyone facing any serious procedure would always get a second opinion.
I would never suggest going without a second opinion.Whether in Denver or your local area.

This surgery is 95% neurogenic related and the results varied. A top specialist can best evaluate for good canidate.
I would certainly, if already out there check into another doctor if at all possible. You will learn so much about TOS and you, the surgery techniques and post op care.

Best of luck

dr brantigan
 
I had surgery from dr brantigan in June and I feel alot better I am not the person I was before and probably never will be but I tell you that now I have alot less pain.... I think that he is the best---- he sure seems to have his specialty down pat.... I am glad that I seen him. camey

Thanks everyone. It is nice taking things into my own hands for a change.

Dr. Lowe only sees pt on referral from other physicians not by self referred and my GP didn't me to go there for some unknown reason and refered me to occupational medicine instead at the University level. Interesting....

that appt is on the 28th of this month.

I hope that if the university thing works out for you.
