My daughter's surgery is scheduled for March 8. She is having her surgery at Hackensack Medical Center in NJ. It's difficult to have faith in any doctor that will be performing brain surgery; but we have a team of doctors who show compassion as well as experience. Try to trust your instincts where your doctor is concerned. I will say a prayer for you and your family day of your surgery.

Thank you and your family will be in my thoughts as well.

@livingstone524 Do you live in NJ? My family is in Maplewood and my adult daughter had surgery for mm in October 2016.
