I believe in surgery and its ability to return people to a functional life once again. However, surgery should be carefully considered, and conscientiously performed. Patients need to do their research on surgeons they are considering by looking at patient testimonials of MANY patients. The truth is in the outcomes and often even medical personnel fail to see the clinical results of a surgeon they work with daily. Very few people see what the patients look like after surgery in the clinic and this is the most important determining factor for whom you should go to. Therefore, seek the opinion of multiple patients and look for reviews that are heartfelt and lengthy, to determine if your surgeon is the right one for you. ~Dr Cyr #SASpine
