Dr Gubbels and Dr Youssef - UC Denver
« on: March 18, 2016, 08:44:55 pm »
In February 2016 I had a large AN removed by Dr Youssef as the neurologist and Dr Gubbels as the otologist. I was refered to Gubbels for an initial consultation. He was so comforting in his mannerisms. He took time to educate myself and my husband. He wanted to do the procedure with Youssef who we later met and were impressed by his experience and confidence. Both doctors staff were helpful post procedure. Highly recommended.

UPDATE: Two months post surgery Dr Youssef informed me that the remaining tumor in my head had doubled. Very long story that I'm willing to advise on if you PM me, but I have my second surgery less than six months after my first out at the House Clinic.

I'm so sorry to hear that your first surgery failed and that you have to go through this again so soon, how devastating. 
 :(

I am very glad to hear that you are able to go to House for the re-do, they will get it done properly.
