Information on Drs. Milhorat, Batzdorf, Boggan, and

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of considering another decompression. I have or

will be consulting with the following Nsgs.:

Dr. Milhorat (New York)

Dr. Ulrich Batzdorf (UCSF)

Dr. Boggan (UCDMC)

Dr. (Sacramento)

If anyone has any information on any of these nsgs. I would love to

hear from you regarding their philosophies, how they run their

practices, postop care, approach to surgery, are they conservative or

aggressive?, personalities, how they deal with a failed surgery,

success rates,how you are doing now (if you had surgery or if you

didn't), how do they follow up with you, or anything you can offer.

I have had some very different opinions about my surgery as many of

you have (from what I have read). They vary from 1)wanting to do

surgery on me ASAP to 2)not wanting to do surgery because of the high

risk, 3)saying I don't need surgery at all.

I would appreciate any input on any of these MDs, positive or

negative.

Thank you all so much for this group.
