Red face MI Surgeons

Hello-

I'm looking for recommendations for a disc replacement surgeon in Michigan. I have problem discs at L3-4 + L4-5. I've done all of the tests and have pain generators at both. I've finally made up my mind that this must change. I'm willing to risk the possible complications, despite how nervous I am about it. Anyway, please let me know when you get a chance. Thank-you

Chris

Default Welcome, Chris

Hi Chris,

There are actually quite a few Michigan patients within this community. This post may answer some of your questions, but please search and you'll find more. You can & should also search for Michigan members. But in Sandra's post, you'll find surgeons' names & phone numbers. You can also call the Synthes reimbursement line to get doctors names, 1-800-895-7764.

I also tried the Depuy Spine surgeon locator (for the Charite, Discover, et al), but the surgeon locator utility is not working.
