Looking for Doctor Information

[Springhillgirl]

Hi everyone. I am having fusion at L5 S1 next Wednesday and am wondering if anyone out there is a patient of my surgeon, Dr. David McCord, in Nashville. Looking for some feedback/opinions. Thank you so much!!

Hi Springhillgirl,

I can't answer your question, but I want to welcome you to this forum!!! And also wish you all the best in your upcoming surgery!!!

Don't give up too soon on finding information on this forum. And I hope you let us know how you're doing afterwards!!! Your surgery is coming up soon and we all wish you our best!!!

I read this forum for quite a while and I finally decided to join and post my first thread 9 days before my surgery. That was something I regreted, I know now that I would have been welcomed with open arms, and recieved a lot of needed support and comfort so much sooner.

I hope you know we will be here for you!!!

Shari

springhillgirl, I don't know dr. mcord but i do know some other doctors in your area. Just curious on how you picked him because i'm from spring hill too and have seen 3 doctors and am getting ready to see my fourth next week, Dr. Lowe from nashville, do you know him?

Dr. McCord

kdawn - I saw two other ortho surgeons before going to Dr. McCord and Dr. #1 was super conservative and wanted me to suffer through three more months of pain before even thinking about surgery, and I was told by both a physical therapist and a chiropractor that Dr. #2 was bad news. The chiropractor told me about Dr. McCord and told me that he is a spine specialist and is the president of the American College of Spine Surgeons and is the top of the field. So, I checked him out online as much as I could and then went to see him and really liked him and his staff. He did a diskogram and I was pleased with how it was done and how wonderful he was afterwards (he spent an hour in his office with me going over all of the details and answering a million questions that he had).
