Dr. Frim

[Guest guest]

I don't know personally about Dr. Frim, but when we were looking for a

surgeron, his name came up frequently as a really good source. Of

course there also is Dr. Heffez in Chicago and Rosner in NOrth

CArolina, but right now they seem to be it. My husband is an

orthopaedic surgeon at Indiana University School of Medicine and we are

trying to get the neurosurgeons ther educated n this field. It is a

shame that so many docs are clueless to this defect and it's problems.

WE are bent on educating our physicians here.

Dear Ellen and Chiari Friends....

I had a decompression surgery in July by Dr Menezes also a laminectomy

and repaired my arachnoid (the membrane around the brain). I swear by

him and feel very blessed that I found him. The only reason I am

writing this to you is that I had a wonderful experience with him and

think he is a wonderful NSG. I went to him after two neurologists in

Des Moines Iowa said it was all in my head!! Thanks to him I am back

to as normal as I can be proclaimed!!!
