Hi Ralph

It was Mr Currie Maxillofacial Consultant at Crosshouse I’ve had both sides done right side August 2013 and left side April 2015 not had any significant symptoms since but he did say there is a possibility of regrowth!

Thanks

Rhona

Hi

It was Mr Currie that spotted I had Eagles on an xray for another issue, mind you it was missed on previous xrays acfewcyesrs before. I was only their second ever patient with Eagles in his and his colleague’s 45 combined medical career. I have never looked back from having surgery (intraoral) and have not been back to a consultation since my last op in April 2015. So I’d highly recommend Mr Currie definitely.

I’m really sorry, I can’t remember how he did surgery- he does do private work through Spire Healthcare, maybe you could get in touch with his secretary through that to see if he still does ES surgeries & which method? They might tell you without an appt?

@delusive hi and I hope you are doing ok?

Would you be comfortable sharing the name of the surgeon you saw in London? I’m calling round lots of surgeons trying to expand the list of options in the UK and it would be really helpful if you could 🙏

Aidan, I’m sorry I can’t remember, did you have surgery with Dr Obholzer? It’d be great to get the name of another doctor to add to our list!

No, he refused me Surgery he does not think my symptoms are from Eagle Syndrome he thinks it is something else, he also said the same to my Friend she went to see him. The other Doctor is at Addenbrooke Hospital I think his name is Dr. Axon there are not many in the UK who do the procedure also he has long waiting lists so check with the Group on Facebook Eagle Syndrome UK xx Hope all is well with you thanks Jules xx I still think I will go see other Doctors for ES

@Aidan - try Mr.Hughes in London. We have some members who’ve seen him for surgery, & he is more proactive in being willing to treat ES. Mr.Axon is now more limited in doing ES surgery & has to be more selective about who he sees so is turning away more people w/ ES now.

Okay, not one to add to the list now! As @Isaiah_40_31 says, Mr Axon is doing less now, but good that we’ve been given Dr Hughes’ name as well!
