Looking for a pediatric Chiari specialist near Raleigh, NC

by jimanddawn, Apr 26, 2009 07:20PM
My son was diagnosed with Chiari last week after a sports injury required an MRI.  We are seeing a pediatric  neurologist in Raleigh, but she is not a chiari specialist.  Can anyone suggest a doctor?

There is a pediatric Chiari specialist at Wake Forest in Winston Salem.  Don't know anything about him.  Dr. Oldfield is at UVA in Charlottesville VA.  I was referred to him by A.S.A.P.
