How likely are you to recommend Dr. Golby?
In 1997, while Chief Resident in the Stanford Neurosurgery program (I believe that was the program's title), Dr. Golby performed amazing cranial surgery upon me for two concurrent cranial nerve disorders, glossopharyngeal and trigeminal neuralgias, saving my life. Prior to the surgery the pain from those two disorders was so severe I had considered ending my life. The surgery required was more lengthy than expected, as there were complications not evident on the MRIs. Dr. Golby - a resident - successfully completed the surgery, which ended the pain and any need for the Tegretol that reduced my pain, but affected my memory. She is an incredible surgeon and a fine person as well. If you read this, Dr. Golby, know that the resident you mentored in the program, Dr. Carter Beck, is my current neurosurgeon here in Montana, for my spinal issues (L2-S1 PLIFs). He has become an excellent - and compassionate - surgeon. Small world, isn't it?
