Hi,
I just found a surgeon near me that has studied neurology along with orthopedics and he does work on adult scoli patients. His name is Dr. Nitan Bhatia MD and he is with UCI Orthopedic surgery in Orange, Ca. He has a lot of experience, training, awards and is active in researching spine repair. He is on the SRS list as well as the CSRS list. I am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Bederman but to my knowledge he does not have neurological training. I really wanted a surgeon with both as I have nerve pain, sciatica and severe nerve impingement. I am wondering what people think. Is it necessary to have an orthopedic surgeon with neurological experience or will just a scoli spine orthopedic be ok?
Thanks,
Leanne J
