This is my first time posting to this forum and have found many of the postings to be informative and supportive. My mother, in her mid 60s, has been suffering from scoliosis for years and I have seen her live with and accept the pain. However within the past 6 month, the pain has escalated to the point where she is practically bedridden. I am writing on her behalf to find both support for her and advice on the surgeons she has seen.
In particular, I want to find out a little more about Drs. Errico/Frempong from NYU Hospital for Joint Disease and Dr. Todd Albert from Jefferson University. (Drs. Rowland and Boachie from HSS REFUSE to see her due to insurance issues. Dr. Camissa has consulted on her, but no longer performs the surgery that she requires.) She will need surgical correction via both anterior and posterior approaches with rods.
Information and personal experiences regarding these surgeons and/or other surgeons in the NYC/Philly area would be very helpful.
