Upcoming appt for spine.

Posted by Nic @niclardy, Sep 18 6:34pm

Hello
I’m wondering if anyone has seen
Dr. Russell Gelfman. I live in Wyoming and I just want to see if anyone has any experience, it’s a long trip and expensive. I haven’t really found reviews.
Thank You

@niclardy Nic, I was curious and looked up Dr. Gelfman and found him at Mayo Rochester. It looks like he is a rehab doctor for spine issues, and he looks like a good person for an evaluation. If you need surgery, you would probably be referred to a surgeon there. My spine surgeon at Mayo was Dr. Jeremy Fogelson. Mine was a simple C5/C6 fusion, but he is a deformity specialist and takes some difficult cases. I see from your other discussion, that you attended the Mayo Pain Management Course. Did that help you at the time you attended?

For anyone who is interested in Dr. Gelfman, here is his profile.
