Neurosurgery in San Francisco

I'm a new member here and I'm still getting the hang of things...
Could you all please share your experiences with the neurosurgery department in San Francisco? I've had a really rough time with them lately and I'm honestly at a loss for what to do next...😢

I’d really rather we didn't turn this thread into a debate about specific doctors or hospital departments... honestly, it just turns into a massive mess of pros and cons from all sorts of different medical backgrounds, and then the whole point of the Health forum gets totally lost in the shuffle. This space is really meant for when you want to lay out what you're actually going through—like describing a specific condition or a symptom you're dealing with—so we can hopefully chime in with some helpful advice or perspective... if you're looking for a recommendation on which specialist to see, there's already a dedicated thread specifically for that.

So, if you could just try doing what I suggested, that would be great... once that's done, I'm planning to rename this topic since the current title doesn't really tell us much about what's going on.

It isn't really cool to go around calling out specific doctors on a public forum like this. If you've got questions—seriously, just shoot me a private message—and I'll try to help you out however I can. Best, 🙂

Neurosurgery in San Francisco is understaffed and technologically outdated; it basically exists just to maintain appearances, which is nothing more than pure pretension. You might be able to handle some emergencies or minor spinal issues there, but for anything else, you should head to Washington, D.C. Or, even better, go to Denver.
