Why not try Physical Therapy first? It works !

Dr. Barry Kaplan, Ocala Neurosurgery, 352-622-3360, or any of the physicians in that group.

My husband saw Dr. DeSclafani yesterday in Ocala. I beliEve he is in the same group as above. Very good doctor. Nice personality. We did not have to wait long in the office either. We have found a number of excellent doctors in Ocala.

Was it a neurosurgeon that was arrested for having all kinds of drugs in her car after she was pulled over for driving erratically on 466A a couple of years ago? What happened to her? |

I had back pain and went to a pain doctor and he helped me. I got two shots and now walking with no pain. Pm me if you want his number.

That was a neurologist. She still practices here in TV. |
I had lower back surgery about 8 years ago. I used Neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Hill in Leesburg. His phone number is 352-728-3252. I am very pleased with the results I've had. I choose him because of recommendations I received from friends who are local physicians.
BTW....he's not the "friendliest" guy......he can be very blunt.....but his surgical skills far outweigh his personality. Good Luck to you! |

The good news is that many physicians overcome their shyness and become socially adept and fun to be around. |

Another case of gossip before facts. Glad she wasn't named.
|
Regarding the original question, before seeing a surgeon, you might want to consider several less invasive alternatives first. As suggested Physical Therapy, or maybe Chiropractic.

Get a second opinion from another doctor and see what he says about seeing the surgeon. Usually your health plan will will pay for a send opinion. Please be careful when dealing with a back issue.

I'm just sayin'... she isn't a neurosurgeon, as was suggested, and she wasn't in possession of illegal drugs. Granted, I wouldn't want her as my doctor, but we have to be more careful of posting things before checking the facts. |

Best place to go.
I just came back from appt at U of F in Gainsville in the neurology dept. (teaching hospital) Dr. Burtis was the Dr. He spent an 1 1/2 hrs with me....this was the first appt. He is every knownledgable....however you may have to wait many months to see him....it's worth it. plus they have all the equipment (MRI) etc. better machines than Lake Imaging) to test you there.

Dr Oliver of Ocala Neurosurgery did my neck surgery about 5 yrs ago - diskectomy and fusion. Excellent results! No more pain - full range of motion.
|
My husband recently had very extensive back surgery by Dr. Hoh, a neurosurgeon at U of F in Gainesville. Very pleased with the results. He had a the surgery 7 years ago by a different Dr. And was never out of pain. Whoever you choose make sure back surgery is their speciality.
