Mark and Harrison, thank you for your suggestions.
I had my second meeting with my local neurosurgeon. My wife went with me to the meeting. The doctor seems very competent, but neither of us was able to get from him or his staff the number of Mobi-C ADRs he has performed. This evasion regarding his experience seems a little weird.
He is not requiring a DEXA test before surgery. A number of posts on adrsupport.org suggest this is an important test to have before moving forward with surgery. I would like to hear what others think. How important is a bone density test?
So, we are still deciding if I should go with this local neurosurgeon or look further afield. We are considering Dr. Scott L. Blumenthal, MD of the Texas Back Institute. It is my understand that Dr. Blumenthal was part of the Mobi-C trials.
Thanks again for your responses.
Regards,
William
