The nearest large city is Jacksonville, FL. We have an appointment August 3rd with the Mayo Clinic- but that is so far away! Are there any other neurosurgeons that you recommend in the Jacksonville area? Thanks!
I am on Florida medicaid and willing to even relocate out of Fl to obtain excellent medical care/treatment to obtain the new FDA approved triple medication regimen for HepC genotype one patients.
Thanks everyone, from a desperate mommy in Fl.
DR Oyakawa,
I went to four different retina specialists in last 2 months. I live in jacksonvilleFL. Everyone say OCT and FA scan looks normal. Current DR I am seeing said it is the scar tissue that causing waviness. This scar tissue was not there when I first started seeing him. He said shots are not going to help me. I am assuming its excessive stretching of the eye causing this tear. I am considering to contact Dr Brian Ward in california as he is specialized in myopia?
Thx so much I was on norco for on and off 6 yrs and everyday for 2yrs. Had 2 major spin surgerys in the last 7 mons. I started methadone 2 weeks ago today to come off the norco. Just starting to taper.
I just looked to see if anyone had things to say about Jacksonville, FL. There is one post there that mentions someone favorably. There is also a glowing post about someone in Alabama. Check all your surrounding states and see what you can find.
I am looking for other local families battling chiari. We are in the Jacksonville Florida Area. I have 3 sons who suffer from chiari!! We see Dr. Heger out of Wolfsons and we absolutely adore him and his staff.
I also have spastic cerebral palsy. Though through research on the web, I have found that the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL has a lot of experience with Chiari and syringomyelia (I have both :( ). I hope to go there once I get to FL within the next month. I hope this helps. They don't take state insurances (like medicaid) but they do offer charity care depending on the circumstances.
