Being diagnosed with a neurological problem that requires surgery can be horribly frightening. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the inner medial aspect of my right temporal lobe in August of 2006. I was terrified. The only neurosurgeon in my home of Muskogee, Ok. was unable to help me. He claimed he did not have the "right equipment" to perform the kind of surgery I needed. While running around town in tears trying to figure out what to do, I came across a cancer clinic physician here in Muskogee (I will get to him in a seperate recommendation) who on the same day, got me an appointment with Ronald Woosley at St. John's Neorological Insistute in Tulsa, Ok.
Dr. Ronald Woosley has great experience in Neurosurgery and works with a wonderful healthcare community who cared for me wonderfully in this difficult time. He exudes a comforting presence, confidence and makes you fell like you are his only patient. He got me into surgery within a couple of days and successfully removed the tumor. He and his nurse even prayed with me before they took me into surgery.
Dr. Ronald Woosley made the most frightening experience of my life as close to pleasant as such an experience could be. I still see him, a year later, for follow up appointments. The drive is more than worth it and I recommend him highly for anyone faced with the possibility of neurosurgery, even if you have to drive or fly from another state!
