Recommend a NS PA, MD area

General

Hey everyone!!! I'm looking for a NS for a second opinion. I currently see Dr. Bejjani in Pittsburgh, who is great. I would just like to get a second opinion. I'm not 100% convinced with Dr. Bejjani's plan, or thoughts. If you can recommend anyone that you have seen that would be really helpful. So far all I have found is Dr. Weingart out of John's Hopkins.


Thanks!!!

I saw Dr. Kobrine, he was incredible, He spent a lot of time with my parents and I explaining everything about my condition. He was very personable. He took time to review my films and even caught things the Radiologist missed when they read my MRI. Dr. Kobrine was also the doctor that saved Jim Brady (President Reagans press secretary), who was shot in the head while trying to protect President Reagan.

Thanks everyone! And Beeba...thanks for the extra info on Dr. Weingart. I think that is who I'm going to try. I'm of the scientific mind, so I can relate to the 2 words instead of 100. So it should be a good fit! :-)

Dr Ray Sekula - I would trust Ray with me or any family or friend that needed a NS for any reason. He is a CM specialist trained by Dr. Peter Jannetta. He is also incredibly funny and cares about his patients. You are not just a case that fits in a mould or doesn't. Dr Weingart and Dr. Henderson are incredible also. If you contact Dr. Henderson, Sabrina worked with me on an insurance issue and is great.
