Please, there are Freepers up in age on this forum who will know to which hosptial to go for truly excellent healthcare in a difficult situation. My wife has a rare neurological condition for which she had neurosurgery many years ago at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Now, symptoms are recurring.
We need to know of an excellent research hospital (analagous to Vanderbilt) in Austin or Houston that can see her if things get serious (like the last time). Where can I take her in one of those two cities that would have motivated doctors (team of 12 at Vanderbilt) who can research her condition and see if she can be helped? We really need help from Freeper brothers and sisters here who seem to be about the only source of real truth any more.
I don’t have info but will pray to One who does for you and your wife.
I guess M.D. Anderson is just for cancer?
They might have good recommendations?
✝️🙏🛐
Why not take her back to Nashville?
“...Freeper brothers and sisters here who seem

(that’s quite a stretch)
Prayers up.....
Is there a specific condition, or diagnosis?
contact hockndoc she will know
good suggestion
Praying!
I recommend Dr Trask at Houston Methodist who did a successful back surgery on the wife a few years ago at Houston Methodist.
The whole department is good.
Ask your doctor to refer to Dr. Trask.

God bless
MD Anderson is not a good place. Trust me. My dad went there for treatment.
It’s where my Mom went for her cancer
Unfortunately it was terminal
Mom and Dad were both believers
I pray ever day of the week to spend His Millennial Reign and Eternity with them and my Lord
Houston Magazine has a list of the "top" neurosurgeons here
Austin Magazine's neurologists are here
Prayers for you and your wife.
Name doesn’t work in mail. Help...
It is a spinal issue at the base of the skull, not a back issue.
Thanks. We’ll start working on it.
Strongly recommend you contact any member of your previous Nashville team you can. They will know if anyone else is providing the treatment protocols that they use and where. Anything else you get is going to be a guess or ill informed opinion.
Yes, I was thinking probably the Houston Methodist or UT Southwestern in Dallas.
D Magazine list for Dallas (for what its worth)

Looks like Houston Methodist according to this.
