Maria, I just looked back at the pictures from the Dr. Yeung seminar I put together (it was june 2004.)

GPN Events - Dr. Yeung

Do you remember the way you used to sit? It is great to see you doing so much better.

Gil, I like Dr. Yeung (both of them) very much and believe in what they do. If I could go back and redo my discectomies, I'd probably go to them. However, their SED procedure is an effort to salvage discs and avoid bigger surgeries. It can be VERY effective in less degenerated systems that have salvageable discs. In severely degenerated systems, discectomies come with poor success rates. (Not zero, not nearly as good as in less denerated systems.)

Let us know what they say.

All the best,

Mark
