Why does it take along time to get into a specialist about Acoustic Neuroma in Pittsburgh. Do they really care? Cannot hear, dizzy all the time.

Actually, Pittsburgh, PA has one of the first hospitals to use Gamma-knife surgery for an acoustic neuroma. I was going to have my AN GK surgery there in 2001, but had it done in Buffalo, NY (where I live) instead.

Go to the following link to find out more about Pittsburgh:

They should be able to refer you to someone (ENT specialist or neuro-specialist) who can help you.
