I can’t give you a recommendation for a good neurosurgeon, but I can tell you one to stay away from and that is Barry Kaplan. If I thought I could have sued him, I would have done so.
I went to him for back and leg pain. After three MRI’s, which included brain, neck, and lower back. He told me that I needed neck surgery. I questioned why neck surgery and not my back; he told me the neck surgery would alleviate the pain in my back and legs. He told me there was a 95 percent chance that I would see relief.
After the surgery, there was no improvement, he damaged my throat, which has affected my swallowing. He also damaged a nerve that has left some numbness in my neck.
I regret that I didn’t check out his references before I allowed him to cut on me.
