"I would NOT recommend this man to anyone. After my surgery I was in more pain than I was before. I was prescribed gabapentin before my surgery because of nerve pain that I was experiencing. At that time he gave me a script for 3/300mg a day and even told me that if that was not enough to let him know. Ok awesome will do doc. So after my surgery now I am experiencing nerve damage badly in my hands. Called their office and got blown off. My surgery SHOULD NOT have caused that. (But laying on my couch recovering did??) During my 2 wk check-up I told the doc that I had taken an extra gabapentin a day(making it 4 a day) and it was helping with the new pains I was having. He said ok thats fine, but yet never changed my prescription when he refilled it and I also did not catch it. So now that Ive been trying for 5 days to get my script wrote properly that he Ok'd, I get a call saying he wont approve 4 pills a day. HE ALREADY DID. He did not do his job properly on updating my charts and scripts and is now letting me run out of a medication cold turkey. He does not care about his patients!!!"

What is Spine Surgery?

Spinal surgery is the subspecialty that uses surgery to restore the normal function of the spine when things go wrong due to trauma, disease, or other disorders. There are many ways that the spine can begin to hurt or lose the ability to move properly, and surgery is not always necessary. However, when surgery is needed, there's no one more qualified for the job than a spine surgeon.

Spinal surgery can be considered a subspecialty of either orthopedics or neurosurgery. That means that a spine surgeon may take either path to this specific career, training first as either an orthopedist or a neurosurgeon. Orthopedics deals mainly with the structural issues of the back and spine: the bones, muscles, and joints. Neurosurgery deals mainly with issues of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord. So when choosing a spine surgeon, it is sometimes possible that a surgeon's background will have a bearing on someone's particular diagnosis. However, in most cases, it doesn't matter. Either an orthopedist-spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon-spine surgeon can handle the majority of spine surgeries. What is more important is that some spine surgeons specialize in specific areas of the spine, such as lumbar surgery or cervical surgery. In that case, it is important to connect with a surgeon who is experienced with a patient's particular need.

Some of the surgeries performed on the spine include:

Correction of spinal deformities, such as scoliosis
Spinal fusion
Minimally invasive spine surgery, including decompression surgeries such as discectomy and laminectomy
Balloon kyphoplasty, a procedure done to repair compression fractures in vertebrae

The spine is a very complicated piece of the body's machinery, and a very necessary part of movement and function. It holds people up and allows them move. Having a working spine is important, and having a skilled surgeon when spinal surgery is needed is critical.
