@Aleana - The only surgeon who consistently does bilateral ES surgery is Dr. Hackman in North Carolina. I don’t think he specifically does vascular decompression but he does cut the styloids back to the skull base which is often all that is necessary to allow the IJVs to re-open. The carotids tend to get compressed further from the skull base so if they’re being compressed by the styloids, they are naturally decompressed when a styloidectomy is done. Dr. Hepworth in Colorado is our most experienced vascular ES surgeon. Dr. Lawton in Arizona has done a few decompression surgeries but not bilateral, & we’ve heard that Dr. Nakaji, also in Arizona, will shave a little off the C-1 vertebra to help w/ vascular compression, but I don’t know if he does styloidectomies or not. You could also try Dr. Osborne in Los Angeles who has a good reputation as a surgeon, but his fees are high, & I don’t know if he does bilateral ES surgery or vascular decompression.
The link to our Doctors List is below. Doctors are listed by the state they are in. I’m really sorry that offices you’ve called aren’t answering your call. Make sure you’re calling during normal business hours which are usually 9 am-5 pm M-F w/ a 2 hr lunch break from 12-2. Some offices open at 8 am & close at 6 pm. A particular doctor’s office hours should be listed on their website or on the voice mail message when you call the office. If an email address is listed on the website, you could also try contacting the offices that way.
