You might also ask the doctor how many times they’ve been sued by failed surgery. As other readers have responded don’t depend on the reviews. Look into their backgrounds i.e. where they trained, where did they do their fellowship training, how many do they do a year, will he be assisted by anyone. Reviews are a one-time shot of feeling from a patient. Do your research instead.

Hi,
Was it you that had surgery at Northwestern for twitching, throbbing etc. ? Someone on here told me the name of the surgeon at Northwestern that helped them, with osteoporosis I believe also and now I can't find that message to me. If it was you please send me the dr's name again.
Thanks so much
