I am not familiar with anyone well versed in that area. I had to travel to Rochester Mayo and UPMC Pittsburgh for experts. I went somewhere close and was not at all pleased. The neurosurgeon was not nearly on the same page as the other two. UPMC and Mayo were the same opinions and treatment. Both did over 100 of these per year, in the exact location of the brain. The skull base. Make sure you find a surgeon that does at least 100 per year if that’s your location. There’s a good research paper that was done that shows the complication rates go way down if they do. Good luck!
