Pituitary Microadenoma

My mum has been diagnosed with a Pituitary Microadenoma 3x3 mm, Morbus Cushing.
I am looking for an experienced neurosurgeon in Greece that is specialized in this kind of surgery.
Given that is always hard to get unbiased accurate information, I would really appreciate your help
Kind regards
Artan

There are some doctor lists in the health pages. As this site is based in the US and so am I, it is hard for me to know doctors in Greece, but some of the lists have doctors in many countries and I know at least an endo in Greece - who used to work at the NIH here.

Cushing's at this time is treated with surgery so Minakashi, you have a prolactinoma which will respond nicely to medication - Cushing's does not respond to medications very well currently. They had a few in trial here but most are temporary.
