Hello there. I am new to this forum and live in North Carolina. I am posting on behalf of my 18-year-old daughter. She has a thoracolumbar curve that has continued to progress rapidly past skeletal maturity, and is evaluating her surgical options. We've consulted with 3 different doctors, and all concur that it is unlikely that her curve will stop progressing and feel that her particular case would have a very good surgical outcome. So the decision comes down to which doctor. The last one we saw was Dr. Hey, whom I have the impression is considered one of the top surgeons. The biggest difference between him and the other two was that he feels he can correct her curve much better and often gets similar patients down to 0 degrees. When we left his office, we all had a vague feeling of discomfort: it it too good to be true? I've been trawling through the forum looking for input on him, but would love to hear directly from anyone who has undergone surgery with Dr. Hey for any feedback, be it good or bad, before we make this big decision. Thank you!
