Kaiser Northern California

Hi al
I recently had surgery at Kaiser, Redwood City, CA and I felt that I should share my experience.  My Doc was Dr. Stephen Nutik and he was fantastic.  For those of you that have Kaiser, this man is reknowned for his work with AN surgery and the care I received at the hospital was excellent.  Linda

Hi Linda: I just wanted to say that I had the same Dr. with my surgery in January 06. Dr. and staffs were great. I stayed there 5 days, the experience was great. Due to the side and location of the tumor, I completely lost my right hearing and facial paralysis, I am going to be with Dr. Nutik for awhile because I have to go through another surgery to fix my facial. But lucky to be alive.

Take care.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your experience. I was just recently diagnosed with AN with a 3 cm tumor though for five years i have told my primary care doctor that i am experiencing hearing loss. But each time i was told that it is probably allergeries and i should take my allergery med. ... in 2001, i even had a hearing test and saw an EMT doctor but they told me everything was fine ... then, i presisted in taking another hearing test and another EMT suggested that i do an MRI and then just found out last week that i have AN ... i am doing all the research I could on this ... so, your experience with Dr. Nutik gave me some comfort ... take care and God Bless you.
