  Hi...we do have a Dr on our list u will want to check out -Dr Frim he is in Chicago and I know it is not in ur home state, but he is well known as a pediatric Chiari specialist...many of us do have to travel to get to a Chiari specialist...check with the  ins to see what limitations they have and how they can get them to work with them on getting to a true chiari specialist.

Do see our list  of Drs as a means to help u start ur research.

I am not recommending a Dr as I do not know one in KS.  I live in mo and fle to Colorado for my NS.  Since you need a pediatric Dr it is also a different group of Drs.  I googled children's mercy and chiari (since that is our top children's hospital) nd found this http://www.childrensmercy.org/Content/uploadedFiles/Spina%20Bifida.pdf
Scroll to the bottom and there are some chiari links.  
Often travel is required to get the true specialists.
Someone else may know more about peds
It is nice of you to help your friend
