Hi...we do have a few members out that way, I am not sure if the Drs they go to are posted on the list, so do look there ...and ask Desertstorm...she may be aware of Drs in that area.
She goes to Barrow Neuro Institite. We are conaidering Mayo.
Mayo Clinic Scottsdale
13400 E. Shea Blvd.
Scottsdale, Az 85259
Appointment # 480 301-1735
You must see a neurologist first. The following state they specialize in Chiari;
Dr Dodick, Dr Halker, Dr Schwedt, Dr Starling, Dr Vargus
If after seeing a neurologist you wish to see a Neuro Surgeon you may submit a request to do so, your information will be reviewed and an appointment scheduled if they deem it appropriate.
It generally takes 6 - 8 weeks to see a neurologist.
You can review Dr profiles at www.mayoclinic.org
Would they still have you see a neurokogist first if he has a referral for ns? We have a referral.
You can request that they make an exception and they can submit a request for an appointment with a NS over the phone. Good luck and let us know how it goes :-) Lisa
hang on, I have az AZ support group, Let me jump on and see if anyone has a name for you.
