Hi Grazyna - Thanks for writing, and welcome to EmpowHER.
Maria has provided some great information. Dr. Spetzler and the Barrow Neurological Institute are ranked among the best in this field.
Closer to home, you are fortunate to have some of the finest medical facilities in the United States. You may want to research other neurosurgeons in your area that are on your health plan and seek another opinion.
