If you have been told you need neck or back surgery , I  can help you understand your condition and the options you may be facing.  One of the keys to getting the best outcome, whether through surgery or through non-operative care, is to understand your conditions, the goals of your treatment, and to have your questions answered!  My "educated" patients always do a little better - with less fear and confusion and more confidence in their treatment.
