I need a redo on the operative side. I had a left rib resection followed by a pec minor release at John Hopkins in the past 8 months.  My operative side symptoms have returned.  I have bi lateral neurogenic TOS so will need surgery on my right.

Dr. Thompson has approved me to come out for treatment.  My JH surgeon Dr. Arnold has to write me the referral and release me to him.  

I like Dr Arnold and all of the JH staff, she is a closer drive.

St. Louis is a 17 hour drive and a costly trip.  

Is he that good? Is his staff that good?  

Has anyone gone to Dr. Thompson for a redo?

Thoughts anybody??

I’m turning 50 in 3 weeks and would like to think if I can get fixed correctly I will be able to live a full and active life.

I was 13 years before getting diagnosed by Dr. Arnold.
