He is the dr that other drs go to. I still have pain but not as bad everyday as it was. He operated on me in chelsea, michigan. His office in in Ypsilanti, michigan
In 1999, after having mri and scans, my orthopedic doctor told me if he did the fusions, he'd have to come back within a year or two, and do more, repeatedly. He said my spine was fusing on its own, and he didn't recommend surgery.
