i am from clearwater and had my surgery 9/30 by dr danner and dr agazzi (neurosurgeon) i was treated with total respect and care by everyone involved - including the staff at tampa general i was definitely given the option of making my own decision for surgery but, i needed to do it because my tumor had grown since last year and 9/30 was the last day of my health insurance so, my surgery took about 5.5 hrs and i completely lost that day and the next i was in neuro icu from recovery til monday when i was released (icu due to bp issues) now , at 4wks post op, i am without my walker, my facial paralysis is almost gone, i took very few pain pills when i returned home (like 3) and i am considering returning to work soon i see dr danner for my second p/o visit next friday and i have no regrets he and his staff are always accessible and helpful they called me every day or two to check on me my biggest complaints have been a nasty taste in my throat (everything tastes terrible) and my right eye has a lot of dryness i am hoping that when my paralysis is gone my eye will go back to normal i hope this helps with your decision about a florida doctor they are the best! nancy from clearwater
