I was going to suggest Dr. Post as well. From what I understand he has done many pit surgeries which is an important factor when having this type of surgery done due to the fact that you will generally have less chance of having complications when you find a Doc who has done 500+ pit surgeries. If you want to go to John Hopkins htough- research the main pit surgeons to see how many surgeries they have performed. Another consideration is to find out what type of surgery they perform. Endonasal surgery will give you the least chance of complications as well as a quicker recovery if everythign goes well (which the chances of that happening are fairly high with a skilled surgeon) I myself went to Mass General and had Dr. Swearingen. The surgery went excellently, no complications and I was out the next day walking around Boston. If you want to know more, I can tell you & suggest where to stay (We stayed at a hotel that had shuttle service to hospital- really made a BIG difference & wasn't expensive- shuttle was free complimentary- hotel room was like $70 p/day) I dunno about the nerve thing- your Doc says it isn't doing damage, make sure on that- but I don't think you'll be able to get to see a neurosurgeon right off the bat- maybe, but they're usually booked. 1 month doesn't seem too bad (These tumors are generally VERY slow growing), but just make sure it isn't doing damage. As for who do you go to? Go with the best. Do a bit of research. This type of surgery should have the best Doc you can find- the one that has done the most surgeries- don't be afraid to ask their receptionist how many pit surgeries the doc has performed I was very pleased with Dr. Swearingen- very skilled- although he was very hard to talk to |
