List of Chiari Drs USA ~~~2013-2014

[selmaS]

This list is not a complete list of possible Specialists -  This thread is here so Please continue to add your Drs  names once you have been treated  and like the Dr..

This is not any kind of "Official" list of Chiari Specialists! These are simply Neuro Surgeons that we patients have listed as liking. No background checks have been made about them. If you wish to follow up, please research on your own. If you are comfortable with your current doctor and he/she is actually qualified to perform Chiari Decompression Surgery, then don't let us tell you any differently. This list is just to help people connect with Neuro Surgeons. It is not intended as a referral, please research all Drs.

We do have links to other lists for other Countries in the Health Pages -http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Neurological-Disorders/DOCTORS-LIST-FOR-CHIARI-SYRINGOMYELIA/show/1062?cid=186

[Shalacole]

Is there any in charleston?

[selmaS]

  There may be, but no member here has been to one.....we only add names as members go to are treated by and like the Dr.....

Many of us do need to travel to get to a true Chiari specialist and for me that was well worth it...as I do not have ne close to me either.

[AshtonL]

I have been on this forum a few times and am hoping to be able to get the time to start sharing my experiences with Chiari more often. I would like to add my neurosurgeon to the list

Caple A. Spence, MD PC
Neurological Surgeon
8121 National Avenue, Suite 210
Midwest City, OK  73110

[selmaS]

  Thanks for the add on....so this Dr did ur decompression surgery?

It is always good to get another name of a Dr that knows this condition.

[AshtonL]

Yes, this is the Dr. that did my decompression surgery. I also had 4 surgeries after the decompression because of wound healing problems and a pseudomeningoceal. My family and I were very impressed with this Dr. and his staff.

[selmaS]

  Hi...so, were u DX'd with Ehlers-danlos?

[AshtonL]

I was never diagnosed with Ehlers-danlos but his Dr. also did my lumbar puncture and I was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus.

[selmaS]

  Wound healing can be due to diabetes or ehlers-danlos and since EDS is related to Chiari, I was thinking that was y u were having those issues.

Hydro can be a result of an EDSer that was not DX'd b4 surgery and is having a rejection of the dura patch or stitches etc....do ask about this possibility.

  Not sure what u mean JH website?

Is this ur Dr?....we post a Drs name on our list once u were treated by and liked the Dr and results....could be we have not had a member see this Dr.

[bean418]

No, this is not my doctor however since they are always connecting me to Johns Hopkins I figured I would do a little research on Dr. Marcella Madera.  While searching on the Johns Hopkins (JH) website, I tried to do a little
research on Dr. Marcella Madera however there is nothing listed for her.

Of course there are so many neurologists and neurosurgeons at that facility but extensive seaching has come up empty handed.

[selmaS]

  Hmmm....I am not sure who saw this Dr to give u more info.....I will look at the older thread to see who might be able to answer some of ur questions.
