Welcome to Spine surgeon club here in NY, True story; Wife went to respected surgeon for second opinion on failed spine surgery. Once he found out about previous operation he said "My office staff made a mistake in making an appt for you because if I had known about previous surgery I would never have seen you" Also said I know your previous surgeon and he is a great guy go back and see him / Totally disgusted with "club" here in NY.
No one will comment or give possible options on failed spinal surgery done by another "surgeon" Her result of "surgery" laminectomy, removal of interspinious spacers is that spine has now shifted and is now a semi cripple.
