I am planning the MVD, no date yet as I just had a rhizotomy with lack of succes.. Yeah, now I have acute pain 24/7. I did have chronic pain, but now it is chronic blinding pain. That does sound dramatic, but I am willing to have an open craniotomy at this point. I am planning to go with Dr. Michael Brisman in NY. Any feedback welcome. Thanks for reading ---

I saw Dr, Jeffrey Brown , who is in the same practice as Dr. Brisman, for both of my MVDs( I have bilateral TN 1 and TN2). I have nothing but good things to say about both the practice and Winthrop hospital! I think you would be in very good hands within this neurosurgical practice. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Best regards, Christine ---

Brisman was on the Medical Advisory Board at the US TN Association for years. I've met him a couple of times in TNA National Conferences, and heard him speak. I don't know his individual outcomes statistics, but he is certainly experienced, and seems well grounded in his seminar interactions with patients. Regards, Red
