chiari patient

Hi, I live in California and am not finding anyone in California who specializes in this. I've just been diagnosed and am now starting my research. Does anyone have any suggestions or where I can look for specialist in chiari?

Thanks linnielou,

I'm new to this whole thing. Was diagnosed after having headaches and an MRI showed the chiari. My next appointment is Dec. 5 th after my second MRI. Not sure that I know what to do at this point. I'm learning that this is not a common thing that they treat. Now I'm wondering where to turn for help. Just started to research this and learning alot.
