Finding the best neurosurgeon for your Chiari surgery can be a challenge. As with other procedures, the best surgeons are the ones with a lot of experience with your condition, so ask how many Chiari decompression surgeries he or she has done. Another important factor is where the neurosurgeon performs surgery. Chiari is a complex condition that requires multidisciplinary care, so the best choice is a neurosurgeon who practices in a major medical center with access to a full team. Most of all, the neurosurgeon needs to be someone who understands you, and with whom you feel 100 percent comfortable. For more information, see How to Choose a Neurosurgeon for Chiari.
