Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
All Drs listed on this site need to be researched by the member as the list is not meant as a referral nor an endorsement for those listed.
For now we only have W VA....is there any other places (states) you can go ...maybe MD?
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
The thread u posted to is an older one, and the poster u addressed ur comment to is not active at this time, we do have a list of the drs that did treat the members here...and the list was compiled for new members to use to research drs...not to use as a referral, but a means to help u locate names of Drs that have successfully treated chiari.
Not all names may be for true chiari specialists...we do suggest u educate urself so u can identify a chiari specialist when u meet.
Hello,

Hi and welcome to the chiari forum.
We do have a list here for u to use as research to locate a good dr, it is not to be considered a referral...it is compiled from the members here...their personal drs...and they add them if they were happy with them.
I do not believe that there is one on our list from VA....but both Dr Rosner and Dr Oro r....and have very good reps....
It is also very important to rule other related conditions out like syringomyelia, tethered cord, sleep apnea, etc.....
I wish I could offer info on the dr in ?...but I have not heard his name b4.Ur brother is lucky to have a sister take on being his advocate : )
We r glad to have u join us, but so sorry for the reason that brought u.
