Topic: Acoustic Neuroma



Expert: Dina Q Goldin, Ph.D.
Date: 12/7/2007
Subject: AN Radiation Treatment

Question
What do you know about Dr. Gil Lederman at Cabrini Medical Center in New York and the difference from what he offers for a treatment vs. what Dr. Loeffler offers at MGH in Boston. Do you know of anybody that has had the radiation treatment with Dr Lederman? I am considering going to New York to have my AN TREATED BY HIM Vs doing it at MGH,since at MGH Dr Loeffler wants to do it in six weeks,five days per week. Dr. Lederman has five sessions every other day.
Thanks,
Carl Colombo

Answer
I know both of these doctors, and they both have treated many ANs.  They are both good, so unless you are more comfortable with one than another, it would make sense to choose based on location and/or treatment length considerations. I am not sure where you live, but you may want to consider John Hopkins as well; it's also a shorter treatment like Lederman's.
