Colorado surgery
« on: May 19, 2020, 10:01:41 am »
Hi,

I Am 54 and had a left side 2.5 cm AN which caused me horrific trigeminal pain besides making me deaf. It was removed 12 days ago wonderfully at the University of Colorado Hospital (Anschutz). The pain was immediately and completely gone. With the translab approach I lost the very little hearing on the left I had had before, but that was expected. Recovery is going as planned. Walking and balance improves fast, facial weakness will take a long time. I have a PT coming to the house. I am writing this note because I very highly recommend the hospital and the two superb surgeons, Dr Youssef (neurosurgeon) and Dr Gubbels (skull base surgeon). And yes, I had a second opinion from famous Dr Friedman and another excellent place. They all recommended the same. I am sure they would have done the same.

My highest recommendations!

Best
