Default how did you find this surgeon

there is so much information on the i net it's over whelming. once i finally find someone that i think i can trust like at Stenum in Germany, someone tells me about serious life threatening concerns. i don't know what to do.

Default re results

Cheryl,
there are definately horror stories from Stenum and there are wonderful outcomes as well. There are failures re spine surgery with just about every surgeon I imagine as not every patient is created equal in terms of how one responds to spine surgery.

You have to do the best you can with researching and educating yourself. Perhaps you should speak with Mark and see if he's able to assist you.

Good luck with your endeavors and please keep us posted and cotninue to ask questions! Maria

Greetings von Maastricht, Netherlands!

I just got an email from Jarrod. He's home with a pristine, new 3-level neck and is doing well. He says he'll be along shortly to give us an update. I can't wait to read about his experience.

Mark
