I think this doctor was one of the first to try the procedure on some severely affected pwMS, with some good results, so this is the one I may wish to take my wife to. (There is a CCSVI clinic near me now, so I may use that for any follow-up.)

Where does Dr. Sisken practice? Or does he any more, outside of clinical trials?

Thanks.

Dr. Gary Siskin practices in Albany, New York. He is actively doing CCSVI treatment procedures, both in trial and nontrial settings. I've talked to him personally, and he is a very sober guy who strives to keep patient expectations realistic. You can find his contact info here:

Dr. Siskin's medical group has done over 500 procedures. One of the most active CCSVI practices in the country. They did my procedure, excellent.
