Hi ~

I'm sorry to learn of your AN diagnosis but you have options. The House Ear Institute in Los Angeles is one of them.  Here is a link to their website: http://www.houseearclinic.com/about/locations

Yes House is in Los Angeles.  I flew from NY to have my 3.5cm removed and had a great result.  They are highly experienced in AN surgery.  I had Slattery and Schwartz.  At your size I would also check with Dr Chang at Stanford, who does alot of radiation.  I think you can mail him your MRI and start by phone.  Then you'll have a range of options.  BEst of luck and keep us posted.

I had Brackmann and Schwartz at House, they were great. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the House Clinic doctors!

I can personally vouch for the work of Brackmann and Schwartz at House, but I would encourage you to get a 2nd and even 3rd opinion.  I personally met with specialists at 3 different hospitals before making my decision!
