I have been recommended to him by Dr Michael Scott if he decides I should go for surgery...
Was wondering if you could tell me your experiences with Dr Day...
Thanks

Thanks for the historical perspective! Knowing how many MMers there are now diagnosed, comparatively to only 21 in 1980...this is either an explosive epidemic or people are getting educated and finally properly diagnosed. Hurray for education and proper diagnosis! ;D
I would love to hear more of your story! Any Doctor with 29 years experience at anything sounds like a good one! Can I ask how it was that you had 4 surgeries on one side? I didn't think that was possible!
God Bless You All
