Where did you have your Op and which Neurosurgeon?

Chris There has been a lot of questions on the forum recently about which Neurosurgeons we would all recommend and why, where they practice etc
I went in to Salford Royal to have mine and was operated on by Mr P L Richardson. he has now since retired and I am unsure as to who will be his replacement (if any)
Please feel free top add your own here to give people an idea of geographical location nearest to them.
All posts are dated, so should give an idea of how old the information will be further down the road.
Thanks all!

I had my decompression surgery on December 15th '09, by Mr Bukhari at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff (known locally as 'The Heath'). Everything went well, and I was happy with the care I had there.
Had Decompression done by Dr. Steinberg at Stanford Hospital in California. Incredible hospital, great staff. The most knowledgeable Doctors and nurses I have ever had dealings with. Dr. Steinberg is the Chairman of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. He is very personable and friendly.
I went to the Walton Center for Neurology in Liverpool, and was under Mr Findlay, he was and still is a fantastic surgeon, they now have a Syringomyela/Chiari team there!

I have my Decompression in the next 8 weeks and it will be with Mr Nader-Sepahi at Southampton General Hospital. My gut reaction is he's a lovely bloke who knows his stuff so I will update you when I come out of the hospital!
I am nearly 3 weeks post op and everything went fantastic! Hospital and staff were brilliant and my NS is AWESOME!!

I could not fault either the Hospital or The NS, He was great.
