Thank you for your reply mikef1980.
I will certainly look into the Drs. Information You provided at Emory.
How are you, I was diagnosed last year and had my surgeries done at Emory and I continue to go there for all my follow up along with everything else the chief of neurosurgery there is listed below. Within the southeast Emory is the best option in my book.

Dr H is the one who did my surgery last year but has moved to Mount Sinai. He left my case to dr barrow and he has been perfect since he took over my case.

It is in giving we receive....
I pushed myself to do more then I most likely should have for many years, but I was unable to find a Dr that could figure out what was wrong with me....so for too long I was mis-dx'd....and I did not have any perm damage as a result...tho I do feel some of my worse symptoms I endured may have been the line in the sand if you know what I mean....so glad Drs were finally able to gove me a proper DX and treatment.
Thank you for your kind words....I only hope I am helping someone avoid making a wrong decision or a hasty one ......there are several really good options with in this list...as we find out bad reports on Drs or care we do remove them....that is not saying all on the list are great Drs....again you must research any and all Drs you seek treatment from and this list is not a referral nor an endorsement for those on the list......

Give me a state and I can give you names if that will help.
Hi...I agree with what you have said...yes Chiari can worsen especially if we do not listen to our body's and push thru pain. I too tried that and it only got worse for me too.
We do have some names of Drs in Georgia....BUT this is not a referral nor an endorsement for those listed...Please research ALL Drs b4 going to see them...and visit a few to compare.
You may find you may need to travel out of state...many of us do...I did
