I was treated in Seattle, WA by Dr. McGuckin and I would HIGHLY recommend them to people. Wonderful center, you are treated like a person (not just a number). Very competent and they spend time with you answering any questions you may have. The cost is very good compared to other centers as well with very little wait list.

I ran across this on their website today .. it's a list of questions and answers from Dr. James McGuckin on the procedure and other aspects relating to it. I hope this helps someone with their questions .. I found this list very helpful!

This is their webpage for CCSVI: http://www.vascularaccesscenters.com/Pu ... iency.aspx

And this is the actual link to the PDF document with the FAQs:

Thanks. In addition to the locations listed on the FAQ, I understand they are also now treating in Pittsburgh. I am checking this out.

One Canadian who was treated by Dr. McGuckin's team in Seattle rated them A+ on CCSVI Locator.

I was the told my financial obligation would be no more than $8800.

I also understand they are in the process of applying to be part of the Hubbard study.
