Mother of a 17 year old daughter. Her "S" curve was 40 degree thoracic from T3 to T9, and a 70 degree rotatory thorcolumbar from T9 to L4. She was operated on March 9th, 2005 by Dr. Boachie-Adjei at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. She was fused from T11 to L3, using an anterior approach, and the major curve corrected to 20 degrees. She's doing great!
Howard A King in Boise Idaho is my daughter Allana's specialtist. I would highly recommend him to anyone, I feel like my daughter is in the best hands.
I agree, Dr King is really good. My Son's local doc is Buzz Showalter, and Dr King and Dr Shea have both worked with him on Sean's complicated issues. We did end up needing to go elsewhere for treatement (Dr Kit Song in Seattle) as Sean really needed more pulmo help than we can get here for peds in the Boise area.
Heidi (mom to 3 boys, Sean is 9 and has LCDH, SBS, is TPN, O2, and Bipap dependent, has SVC stenosis/stent x4, severe malignant scoliosis fused twice from T1-L2, halo traction for 2 months, severe restrictive lung disease, a CVL and GT, Fundo x2, and is one of my heroes.)
