He was a neuro-surgeon but left which was a sad day for his present and future patients.
I have TVH and have been very much satisfied. Plus we have to BCBS advantage plan---which we also are happy with. I've had lower spine issues for many years...maybe since the late 80's or so. Used to do chiropractic but won't go that route anymore. What do you do for pain? I can't take Nsaids due to some other issues I have.
I know, for some people these surgeries work fine and for others not so much. I only ask about the surgery and the physicians who do them.

I have BCBS Advantage PPO. I had lower back L4/L5 issues 5 years ago. I went to Dr. Daniel Robertson, Neurosurgeon, Ocala. He recommends surgery as a last option, which in my case I did not need. A couple of injections combined with an exercise routine have gotten my back in a good place. I highly recommend Dr. Robertson.
