Need info. on neurologist in South Bend, IN

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

Yesterday I had my first office visit with a " new to me " neurologist

(dumped the first one; we were not a good match). I felt the need to

find one an hour's drive away, rather than depending only upon my nsg at

the Mayo Clinic (9 hours away).

This neurologist appeared knowledgeable about Chiari, but I'd like to

be sure.

When I asked him if he had any other Chiari patients, he replied that

he didn't. He then went on to say that he'd been working with a woman

with syringemyelia (wrong spelling), but that she didn't have ACM. She

apparently was dissatisfied and ended up this winter/spring seeing Dr.

Milhorat.

My question - would this patient happen to be on this list? I'd sure

like to be in contact with her. The neurologist is Kristl,

located in South Bend, IN.

If this description sounds like you, please send me an e-mail.

Thanks a bunch!

I am not that person. However, I do have a question for you. Isn't it a

neurosurgeon that you should be seeing, not a neurologist?

What's the difference?

I'm not sure of all of the differences. I know the following for sure:

Neurosurgeons can diagnose, and they can operate. However, if they

diagnose epilepsy they turn you over to a neurologist for the continuing

care. I do not know if neurologists are able to operate. I think

neurologists do more hands on care.

Hello ,

I'd really like to know where you are from. I live close to ville In. My

family doctor in E'ville referred me to a Doctor at Indianapolis. This Doctor

is WONDERFUL! He did my surgery on April 14th. I go for my checkup this

Friday. I'd really like to give you more info. Email me back if you want.
