And I want to be very clear, by these recommendations we are NOT passing judgment on a physician's entire surgical career. It is always up to the patient specifically to evaluate the doctor and decide who to trust with their situation. Acoustic Neuroma surgery - like a great many Schwannoma Surgeries, is a very delicate neurosurgical procedure, and not all results will be predictable or perfect. We have to grant that these treatments are challenging - but, at the same time, it helps new patients to know who might be a good doctor to speak with. We hope this list is of assistance to you, and have a great day! - Neil
*Note we also have a general list of doctors experienced in the treatment of other kinds of Schwannomas, such as spinal cord Schwannomas, vagal Schwannomas, etc - you can find that list at:
