I finally got an appt for Dr Menenez in iowa but ive been reading and now im worried ive read he deals with children but i am an adult ?? Please help have any adults been to him ?

I can tell you that I liked him a lot. He was quite direct and honest and I appreciated that. He had a good sense of humor but was still professional. I think some people have personalities they prefer over others, but he seems like the kind that is thorough and knowledgeable. He told me he would have to undo everything I had done during my decompression and redo it all and then do the fusion. I feel confident in him enough from the research and meeting him personally to allow him to do it. Try not to be nervous! If he can help you, I'm sure he will. Good luck!!

Would you say he's pretty friendly ? I'm super nervous for this appointment .

I saw him myself last month so he does treat adults. I also appreciated his honesty. He will more than likely do my cranio cervical fusion surgery

I will call tomorrow and find out for sure since i will be driving from oklahoma.

  From what I have heard I believe he also treats adults......

I did not see him...but I was at a Chiari conference he spoke at..and I was very impressed....not just by him....but all the Drs in attendance and those that spoke on Chiari and  related conditions...

Let us know if you find out....but do call the office and ask as Drs change who they treat .....I know  a few other pediatric Chiari Drs that now treat adults.
