Hi and welcome! We have a list of doctors familiar with ES, here’s a link: [Doctor Lists – no discussion - Symptoms and Treatments / Doctor Information - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/doctor-lists-no-discussion/10245/2) In Australia the doctor that we know of doing styloidectomy, IJV compression and C1 shaves is A/Prof Michael Elliott, ENT, Unit 211/300 Pacific Hwy, Crows Nest NSW 2065. ph# +61 2 8355 7940 [Operates at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital/ or Concord/ or privately at The Mater(?) He works with with Dr Michael Halmagyi or Dr. Rao (Neurolosurgeons) and Dr Jeff Parker (Radiologist)] •Dr. Prashanth Rao [https://www.brainandspinesurgery.com.au](https://www.brainandspinesurgery.com.au/) Apparently Dr Rodney Allan, neurosurgeon, Sydney, NSW, possibly does C1 process along with Prof Michael Elliott. There have been quite a few discussions about surgery with Dr Elliott, here’s links to a couple, you can use the search function to look up more if you want: [New Member - input on scans pls - General / Eagle Syndrome Stories - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/new-member-input-on-scans-pls/22480)[Australian appointment access to Associate Professor Michael Elliott - General - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/australian-appointment-access-to-associate-professor-michael-elliott/22096/8) I hope the names are helpful and you can get a referral…If you were going to consider travelling, quite a few members have seen Dr Aghayev in Turkey as he’s very experienced, he does online consultations for a reasonable cost: [My experience with Dr.Kamran Aghayev - General - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/my-experience-with-dr-kamran-aghayev/23161) There are several surgeons in the US too who do this surgery, Dr Costantino in NY, Dr Lui in NJ, Dr Nakaji in Az and Dr Hepworth in CO. Hopefully some Australian members will say hi! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/seeking-second-opinion-surgeons/23878)._
