Herniated disk

[judylou]

My husband was told he has a bad herniated disk. Anyone have any reccomendations on a back doctor? What hospital do you reccomend?

Wife was diagnosed with the same thing. Between vertibrae 5-6 and will have surgery tomorrow at Shands. Dr's name is Dr Gregory Murad, Dept of Neurosurgery, in Gainesville. 352 273 9000 He ia American too.

Good luck ! ! !

I had 2 recommendations - Dr Hill in Leesburg and Dr Oliver in Ocala. I am going to Dr Oliver in a couple of weeks. I imagine Dr Hill has an office in The Villages also and Dr Oliver has an office at Del Webb. Am having an MRI on Friday - don't have a recent one. I was diagnosed with a bulging disk in my neck up in a Connecticut - it's acting up again.

I used Dr Lora out of Ocala for an L-3 laminectomy. Very good neurosurgeon. He uses ORMC for his operations. (352) 732-3966
