Waited a year to get 2nd opinion for top spinal surgeon. Tried to make an appointment with him 3 months after
failed surgery. Once he found out about previous surgery told to see him after one year from previous surgery,
So in August 2024 finally wife had appt. He said virtually nothing about previous surgery-complete waste of time and expense for UBER. Also tried another surgeon and he refused to comment of previous surgery. As a matter of fact he said his office made a mistake even calling her in for a second opinion and if he had know about other surgery would never have made her appt. He also said go back to surgeon who did operation I know him and he is a great guy? Bottom line here in NY No spinal surgeon will comment or give 2nd opinion of FSS. Lesson learned to late never let anyone cut open your back unless you are prepared for consequences

Docs will tend to protect their own. Whether justified or not.

Very sorry to hear this.
Drs are great ethical creatures until they are not.
Understand Drs have their own code of ethics internally.
As the patient your needs are second to their own well-being.
Sorry for your situation and thank you for the reminder. 7/11 hemilamenotomy .
Done my homework and can’t go on as I am.
Wish me luck.
