hello everybody it's been a while since i've posted here. my situation is this. i have a degenerated disc at l5-s1 and saw dr. rick delamarter who felt i was a perfect candidate for prodisc replacement. this injury was caused as a result of a car accident from two years ago and i've been in pain and medicated since. dr.delamarter will not do the operation on a lean against my pending case.
as a result i was referred to dr. michael schiffman who does the same procedure, but i don't know anything about dr.schiffman. has any one on the board had dr. schiffman do a prodisc-l procedure and if so how successful was it or has anyone heard of dr.shciffman good bad indifferent.
thank you very much for any and all comments. i would love to have the surgery done by delamarter, but if scheffman is anywhere near as qualified as delamarter i'd rather not potentially wait 1-4 years with my back pain and missing out on an active life while my case resolves.
thanks again, ray

Sorry, Ray, no takers so far. In the meantime, can you create a signature to help others help you?

Thanks.
