Seattle neurosurgeon recommendations

Two questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good neurosurgeon in the Seattle area?
2. About 4 months ago, my insurance company balked at my Hct count which was a normal high for me. They said I shouldn't be getting as much epo as I was getting. Pre-dialysis, I always had a highend Hct and felt great. When my insurance company butted their nose in, my epo dose was stopped altogether for a week and then cut by 3/4. I've been anemic ever since. They increase my epo dose by a small amount every month but my hct remains low. I am now taking 13000/week. What do others take for epo and are your counts normal?
