Default Once Again Help Needed

HEy Everyone.....Once again I am turing to you for some help. I have found the name of a doc in Bangor Maine that specializes in TOS. His name is Dr. Gary Keller. Has anyone heard anything of him at all?? I may be able to get surgery moved up with him but dont want him to touch me if he is not experienced enough.
Anything good or bad would be appreciated
Thanks Again Everyone!!!

Rach

Hi Racheal; I did a little research and found Doctor Gary Keller at Eastern Maine Medical Centre. Heres a link,. if no others know of him at least you can reseach him a bit.

Default Thanks hairdresser

I was able to get that info at EMMC, there was nothing else. I was hoping someone may have a tale or two. It seems he is not well known in the TOS family, which makes me nervous about seeing him.

Hi Rachael; Wish I had more information. It's scary enough thinking about surgery. Even worse without hearing any information about the surgeon. Dr. Bethune would be my first choice, only because he's so experienced with tos. A surgeon with a two year waiting list!! It really is a long time to wait.

Just thought I'd bump this thread up for Racheal again. Has anyone been treated by Dr. Gary Keller at Eastern Maine Medical Centre.

I haven't heard his name mentioned by anyone here - but he could be good anyway.
It might be one of those meet them and decide after you talk with them things.

Possibly you can email, fax or even call his office and ask for specifics on how many TOS/Brachial plex surgeries he has done and how long has he been doing them??
If you have a fax that might be the best way to get the answers.

why spend money on a visit if he isn't well versed in TOS experiences.
