For those of you who had surgery from Shamie, Rudolf or Kube-how are you doing? How did they handle the alignment situation prior to surgery? Did they monitor for nerve issues during surgery? Thanks much. Any other surgeons one would recommend outside the GA team. Thanks
Jerry Hesch One who turns away clients because she/he discerns that there are other issues present. Any surgeon who does not believe that magically everyone who walks in the door needs their kool aide surgery. One who educates, refers out, orders more tests when appropriate, one who stays in touch with medical literature, one who has the patient's best interest at heart, one whose Physician:Patient (I call them clients) is one of committment such
that if you have any problem, any concern after the intervention; you can get a return call in 48 hours, sooner for emergency, one who communicates with your at-home physician team, one who does not pay anyone to Facebook market him, one who does not do surreptitious private messaging marketing, one who does not say "You want to get you life back don't you?" who has the balls to stand up to any physical therapist who tries to dictate what kind of hardware to install, one who does not have a financial relationship with the Physical Therapist, nurse, PA, or kool aide stand. Who understands that joint alignment and alignment of the external landmarks: ASIS, PSIS, pubic tubercles, pubic crest, sacrum and PSIS, ischial tuberosity et al; ARE NOT ONE AND THE SAME. One who values constant continuing education as opposed to dogma, on who belongs to several professional organizations, and who refers to Physical Therapists who are members of APTA, Orthopedic Section APTA, AAOMPT, active in clincal AND research, writing and presenting, (or at least 2 of these) PT who reads Spine journals, JOSPT, PTJ, J MAnual & maniupulative Therapy, etc., etc. One whose success rates are objectively measured. Whether this surgeon and PT are in GA as you ask or in Norfolk, or Tuscon; well worth the research. and more...
