Hi Laura -
Aorry I don't know much about Dr. Nezhat, and actually am hoping you
can answer a question about him for me - I know he uses a laser, but
does he do excision, or ablation? Thanks!
Have you considered Dr. Cook in Los Gatos? I've definitely heard a lot
of good reports on him, and I'm planning to have surgery with him in a
few months (after I can change my insurance to a PPO).
Also, have you tried asking for feedback on the endodocs group? There's
a link to it at the bottom of the page, and you can search the archives
for more, too.
Hope this helps.
