Default Foramenoplasty?

Hello

I am thinking about Foramenoplasty at the Bonati Institute in Hudson Florida.

Has any one been their,besides Rob Wilson?

I would like to relive my nerve pain at L5-S1 and hold off on ADR and hope medical advances for spine surgery improve in the future

I understand this may be very temporary or not the cost is around $10,000 for four levels

They would do more tets MRI, CT scan, Xrays, NVC/EMG test.

What do you think?

Thanks for any information

Gil

Default I'd love to hear..

What Mark has to say. My father lives in the Clearwater area and I asked around about the Bonati clinic at the time I was thinking surgery. I just decided to shine it on based on what I heard tho perhaps it's different than what I heard at the time. Oh yeah and of course leaving out the biggest factor.. no one would take my out of state WC (CA) medical coverage on my spine (and litagation has long been over/using future medical benefits only which were willing to compensate provider at their rate).
