Thanks for this. Interesting! Also glad to see my doctor on here. I was surprised to see Weinstein from Iowa City. That's where I'd followed up off and on for years. In 2007 he seemed to think I might be OK and probably not in a wheel chair if I had no surgery. Thanks for that! He seemed reluctant to deal with mine. I asked about the number of surgeries they did-- 450 a year for teens. Ones my age--about 10 a year. Didn't work for me. JanetJanet

There's no mention of what qualified the listed surgeons to be on the list. Since the journal is specialized in the "business and legal issues" of spine surgeons, I wouldn't put much credence in the list. (Not that the listed surgeons aren't great.)Never argue with an idiot. They always drag you down to their level, and then they beat you with experience. --Twain
