The doctor was wonderful. Terriffic bedside manner. He showed me my imaging and exactly what was wrong, how they would fix it and risks and benefits. He did his homework the night before, so he knew my case already. I went to him for a 2nd opinion and decided to have him do the surgery.

He was very kind and direct. He told me more than any other spine surgeon or neurosurgeon has ever told me. Even though it wasn’t the answer I wanted it was the most truthful and honest he could be. Gave me options now deciding which avenue to take

He was not prepared for the appointment. He did not have any notes, records or x-rays from the previous surgeons office. He was confrontational during the question and answer portion. He interrupted me seven times telling me he needed different information. During this very uncomfortable meeting he also told me he was not able to even perform this type of surgery. He didn't even know why I was there. He also kept on saying it wasn't his fault he didn't have the information from the previous doctor's office. He obviously has some issues.
