Hi all!

Does anyone have a suggestion on a surgeon to see in the Boston area? You all know what I'm looking for -- someone who's up on ADR and other non-fusion techniques. Anybody have a good experience with a Boston-area doctor?

Thanks.

Hi Ryegal! Sure, I'd be happy to help you, as you are in my neck of the woods. I had surgery in Boston in 2004 with the Charite', implanted by Dr. Banco at the Boston Spine Group (now in Newton). Call or email at your convenience.
