Laser Spine Institute
My husband and I went to one of the Saturday seminars in Tampa - just a few weeks ago. They told him in the 15 minute consultation that 'Yes' we can take care of your problem (which they said were two pinched nerves in the L4-5 area). The seminar was informative, that is, it was a presentation by a fabulous salesman with many degrees. They really wanted to schedule him asap and take approximately $20k since Medicare and BlueShield really don't approve their services. That should have been a key. So we did a lot of research after coming home and found that their malpractice experience was twice the average.
We then went to see Dr. Spurrier at the Sharon Morse Building, who informed my husband that under NO circumstances should he let anyone open him up. We were told that he does not have pinched nerves, because if he did they would cause a numbness in his lower leg, not his thigh. Another provider was recommended for my husband...someone whom he felt would better serve us. That said a lot for this surgeon. Kudos to him.
Do your homework. Read the reviews...check credentials.
