There are also horror stories on this site about surgery done by doctor B. No surgery is without risk. I believe the two surgeons at Stenum have done more ADR's than anyone on earth and that, along with the Maverick, is why i chose them. I am a success story having come into this surgery with a lot of baggage including two discectomies, mild facet hypertrohy, a lot of scar tissue and who knows what else. One year later, I am pain free and back flying as captain with american airlines.

However, you have to weigh all your options and risks and make a decision. It definitely wasn't an easy one for, in fact one of the most difficult and scariest one I have ever made. So, as they say, "choose wisely, grasshopper".
