Dr Gilmer performed my surgery in July 2014.
Dr. Holly Gilmer at Michigan Head and Spine Institute.
I never actually saw this doctor but I contacted her office, spoke to her nurses, and eventually sent my images and a letter of symptoms for her to review.
Her nurses were very knowledgeable and I got a thorough review from Dr. Gilmer. She was the first doctor I heard from who actually accurately measured my chiari and noted it was double the size that the radiologist noted. She might be someone to consider.
I have no way to know about each of them, this list was compiled by the members here of Drs they have been to, treated by and liked....it is here for you to use to research them and find one that is right for you.
We do not refer or endorse the names on the list, it is just a starting point for your research.
Hi Princessmom2016 and welcome to the Chiari forum.
We do have a short list for that state....please use the list to research Drs with knowing you still may have to travel in or out of state to get to a true Chiari specialist. Educate yourself on Chiari and ALL related conditions.
