Has anyone had experience with either Dr Robert Thompson or Dr. Susan MacKinnon in St Louis, Mo?
I thought my ortho had decided on one but, it appears I have a choice for a Ntos referral and would love some opinions. Yes, I have reviewed the archives and done web searches for reviews and medical backgrounds. Thanks, |

Has your ortho given you his suggestion/opinion on who you should see? Has he/she given you any guidance or background info to help you make this decision?

So, I am pulling every scrap of info I can find to help guide me. I have spoken with both offices and one was definitely more helpful and responsive. I was hoping that someone on this forum had a personal experience to share. I feel that is better data than anonymous internet reviews. One Dr has received very poor reviews from past patients while the other has the opposite. I do feel lost. I have learned so much from reading the archives but even they only go so far. |

I don't want to influence your decision one way or the other, as I simply don't know what the best option is. I also don't know much about the WC system, but I strongly urge you to acquaint yourself with all the controversial issues, gather as much information as you can, and definitely --definitely-- get more than one opinion. Lastly...both Dr Thompson and Dr Mackinnon have published on TOS, and you can learn a lot about them by reading through these publications. Dr Mackinnon also has some videos on YouTube where she discusses nTOS, long with other peripheral nerve entrapment issues. These might be helpful as well.
