I would get a second opinion. If you don't feel comfortable with your neurosurgeon you need to seek another one. ACM1 is not something to play with. My daughter went to LeBonheur Childrens Hospital in Memphis, TN. We saw a neurosurgeon by the name of Michael Mulhbauer. He is wonderful. My daughter loves him to death. At the age of 2 and 3, he performed surgery on her and both times she walked into the operating room with him waving at me. She was totally comfortable with him and he explains everything to you. He is just wonderful.
