After reviewing my X-rays, Dr. Lenke said my 65 degree curve, etc. isn't "bad" enough for him to do the surgery. His nurse left the message & said that was actually good news. Yeah, but . . I justified traveling 8 hrs. from home because I was going to one of the top surgeons in the country.
Dr. Lenke did refer me to Dr. Buchowski - a spine surgeon in the same practice. I've done some research & what I've read is very good. He's on the SRS & his nurse said he does 1 major back surgery per week.
I searched this site for info on Dr. Buchowski, but only found him in the research area.
All of you have a lot of personal experience with scoliosis surgery, so I'm asking for opinions!
I do have a consultation appt in October with Dr. Buchowski.
