Hi Cory,
I can't answer your first question, but we've used all three doctors you mentioned in St. Louis. Â*Actually, Dr. Lusk is no longer in St. Louis, he moved to Colorado Springs. Â*Dr. Forsen was my son's ENT until we moved to Phoenix last summer. Â*Dr. Forsen did Jack's trach. Â*Dr. Forsen is a very nice guy, but I wouldn't rank him anywhere near Dr. Cotton. Â*This is just based on my experience with Dr. Forsen and my hearing about Dr. Cotton on this Board - I've never met Dr. Cotton. Â*My son doesn't have an issue that can be corrected by Dr. Cotton. Â* As you probably already know, Dr. Huddleston is the cardio-thorasic (sp?) surgeon at St. Louis Children's Hospital. He works with Dr. Mendeloff - who actually did several of Jack's surgeries. Â*Drs. Huddleston and Mendeloff's specialties are heart and lung transplants. Â*But, I'm sure they are very good at all surgeries. Â*I'd actually recommend Eric Mendeloff over Dr. Huddleston - he is younger! Â*  Â*If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me at: schrooten1@cox.netAnn
