I have seen the demos at meetings, done the 'wet labs' and heard James Presthus descriptions, but not done any on my own in our office. The insurance reimbursement at the hospital where I office is controlled by an outpatient facility there and is not financially worthwhile. However, we are about to open a MRgFUS facility here that may offer an opportunity for some office space leasing that could change that. If it works out, I would probably be doing it there, since the reimbursement would make it worthwhile.

You may wish to contact Dr. George Hubbell in Osage Beach, Mo., who has been doing them with great success in his office for over a year now.

Best regards,
