It has been brought up more than once in this forum that a severe adult scoliosis case requires treatment by not just a "good" surgeon, but a "great" surgeon. Just how many great surgeons are there? I think we would all agree that Dr. Boachie is a great surgeon, but as much as many of us would like to schedule our surgeries with this surgeon, it's just not feasible. Thus far I have seen four surgeons in the Chicagoland area and one out of state. Of the surgeons I have seen in Chicago, two voluntarily told me that "so and so" is excellent. However, "so and so" does not recommend surgery unless you can no longer function.
At my advanced age and if at all possible, I want to avoid the serious complications that I'm hearing about that others have experienced and I truly believe that the right surgeon and medical center can make all the difference in your surgical outcome. Does that mean that it may be necessary to look out of state?
