Be very careful who you let work on your back. If they make a mistake it might

be uncorrectable. I've traveled for my last 2 surgeries because I wanted

surgeons who are considered top in the field of spine deformatie

Natale,

Your surgeon cancelled your appt because HE thought it was unnecessary?.

It is his job to answer all your questions and make you feel you are in

good hands and ready to go forward with a big surgery. Is he doing that? It

should not be up to him to decide an appt is NOT necessary for the patient.

I'd forget this guy and look for someone willing to trust putting YOU

first.

Hi Pearl,

My son has just been diagnosed with scoliosis. He has to have a spinal fusion.

He's almost 13 years old. He has one curve thats 53 degrees and the other curve

is around 25 degrees. We live in winston-Salem NC. The other place we went to

was the Shriners Hospital in Greenville, SC. Can you please help. I need a

really good surgeon in our area. Thanks so much.

I am from Oklahoma and had my surgery October 2008 in Plano, TX at age 45 but

had been dealing with progressive scoliosis for 30 years.  He should get it

done while he is young and before it gets much worse.  It is painful but very

tolerable and the younger you are the faster you recover for sure!  My Surgeon

(Barton L. Sachs) was FANTASTIC but has since relocated to ton,SC and is

teaching at the medical university there now as well.  I would go there to use

him in a second!  Also, I have had no personal experience with but have

followed the blog of a surgeon (Lloyd Hey) in Raleigh, NC that seems like a

wonderful person & capable surgeon as well.  His blog address is

http://drlloydhey.blogspot.com/.  There are tons of before and after pics and

stories on there and a link to his practice.  I would be happy to personally

share photos with you and my personal story which I posted on the forum but many

month back.  Feel free to contact

me.  I have a wonderful book to recommend as well.  Best advice I have - DO

YOUR HOMEWORK and find the right SURGEON because there really aren't that

many.  You want one that SPECIALIZES in scoliosis and not just a general

orthopedic surgeon.  MANY people have to travel quite a ways.  I couldn't find

one in Oklahoma that I thought was qualified and I'm glad I didn't " settle. "

Good Luck-
