Has anyone consulted with Dr. Patel at MUSC's Neurosurgery Dept.? We're looking for an experienced TN physician not too far away from the Columbia, SC area. MUSC is our state's oldest medical teaching institution, and Dr. Patel is listed as having an interest in TN. I have also seen some NC physicians/institutions listed on the "Doctors" page that we could consider. We're about 2 hours from Charleston; 90 minutes from Charlotte; 4 1/2 hours from Raleigh/Durham; 3 1/2 hours from Atlanta, and 90 minutes from Augusta, Ga. I think we need to start over with this issue and get a new, comprehensive evaluation.
i have gone to dr fukushima in raleigh and he is great he is at the neuro science institute on wake fprrest rd and i am currently seeing dr takacs at musc in sc and he is also great and very forward as well i was living in nc when i went to dr fukushima and now i live in sc and going to musc. both are fabulous. just call to make sure they accept your insurance plan. my neurosurgeon really listens to my my issues and is working hard to solve my problem and trying to relieve my pain, it just takes time and patience on my part...which is one thing that i have a hard time with these days. keep in touch
