My 13 yr old has chairi malformation. She was down 15mm and needed a decompression surgery. I had this myself 10 yrs ago and help others with ACM so finding a competent dr was important. Dr Blum was a charm!! He was direct to the point and made sure she got all the pretest she needed w out putting us thu a whole lot of extras. He was so kind and good to my teen making sure she knew step by step what was going to happen. She has had a bunny doll since she was 2 and he even stiched it up so they would have matching scars. He was very good about leaving her hair and not shave happy. Her scar is the best I have ever seen vs thousands I have. Not only did he care for her (and myself) physically but mentally prepared us as well!! I was terrified to allow my child to have brain surgery by anyone but I'm glad we had Dr Blum!! Ty!!
