My wife recently had a STAMCA bypass performed by Prof Marcus Stoodley, who operates at Prince of Wales Public, Private and Dalcross Pricate Hospital (all in Sydney). Prof Stoodley had relevant experience in Stamford and in Chicago, and specialises in neuro-vascular surgery (amongst other things I think). Our neurologist  was very confident that he was the man for the job, and her confidence was well placed it seems - all went very well. Our neurologist is Dr Louise Allport, and she is also very good. She was better informed than the average (I guess) about Moya Moya (she had specialised in strokes in younger people), and she tracked down Professor Stoodley for us.

Hi, Based on your recommendation I have been able to email Prof Stoodley, who emailed me back straight away with an offer to review my test results if I post them to him!  I live in Adelaide, and as far as I know, no Neurosurgeons are offering this surgery here.

So far I am already impressed, I will keep everyone informed as to how I get on.

Thanks for the info - only 48 hrs after diagnosis I am well on the way to finding someone to help me!

I have recently returned from Sydney after having bilateral STA-MCA bypasses performed by Prof Stoodley. 

I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is fantastic, and is one of the only surgeons I have ever met with a great bedside manner!

I feel wonderful, my recovery so far has been as smooth as can be thanks to him and his amazing team at Dalcross Hospital.

Highly, highly recommended.  What more can I say?  He gave me back my life!
