I am a patient at the Rochester campus. It took my dr three months and three tries to get an appointment for me. I had brain decompression surgery. A neurosurgeon performed that surgery. I had an EIP Opponensplasty performed to improve the use of my thumb three years later. That was performed by a orthopedic hand surgeon. Both surgeries were successful. The brain surgery stopped the progression of my Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia and kept me from being paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. The hand surgery gave me back the use of my thumb. I absolutely love my medical team!!! I thank GOD everyday for my Mayo doctors and I ask HIM to bless them for the wonderful care and support they continually provide me.
