I see that you were questioning about a Clinic in Cleveland, I just had my surgery March 3rd at the Cleveland Clinic, and they are wonderful my doc is a specialist in Chiari and that is what he usually deals with.
His name is doctor Di and he does a wonderful job, I would recommend him to anyone, I felt like God sent me in the right direction when I found him. So if your looking for an excellent doc in Cleveland he is the one. His name is spelled Di but it's pronounced doc. D.

Hello and welcome to the boards. Sorry you have to be here, but this is a good place to get info and talk with people that understand what you're going through. Most of us have had some or all of your symptoms.

I don't actually know these doctors, but I understand that they are considered Chiari Specialists. They might be a good place to start.
