Yes, Dr. Julie Chan. The neurosurgeon I saw first that said my case was beyond his scope was to refer me there to Dr. Daniel Hoh, that’s what the referral states however scheduling called me and when I asked why it was with Dr. Chan and not Dr. Hoh they said he reviewed my case and instead of me having to wait for his availability in February he advised them to schedule me with her. After researching I can’t seem to find where she has significant experience in similar cases to mine (like Dr. Hoh). They said to get there an hour early for new x-rays, I’m assuming to check current stability as my cervical x-rays are 2021-2023 timeframe.

@steelme43 yeah, they always want xrays before appointments but the useful info comes from the MRI. Othopods are the same way.

It’s good that they see the urgency of your case though.

Dr Chen is fellowship trained in complex spine surgeries. That’s encouraging
