I am amazed how often patients come to me with misinformation about their condition. They have their own notions about their spine problem and want me to accept a type of surgery that will not work. In particular, if they already know of a procedure that someone else claimed worked for their friend. After 22 years of seeing numerous failed procedures, I try to offer real opportunity for succcess. Unfortunately, this may require placement of devices in spine and two to three days in hospital but the outcomes r well worth compare to unproven gimmick ! Patents obtaining recommendations should then do research on doctor’s credential and look at published outcomes.
