Fuzzy,
What you said is true, you need to be the right patient for his specialties. I also had an unfortunate outcome with a double ADR. I think it was correctly placed but I just did not do well. He performed a foraminotomy on me after that and things did not go well after. I eventually had to have another Dr. remove my prodiscs and fuse me. If all goes well he is an excellent surgeon. If you have problems things may not go as well. Kevin, his PA is great and helpful. Most patients do very well so if you feel you like him then go with your gut. He has a lot of experience.
Phylly
