After 1 x-ray and approximately 5 minutes with Dr. Bash he decided that I would be 30% better if I participated in aquatic therapy... After a year, I was no better, in fact I was worse off. He doomed me to a lifetime of pain. After a long and painful search, I located Dr. Federico Girardi @ the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. Dr. Girardi repaired my severe degenerative scoliosis and fused 4 levels of my lumbar spine. I am 3 months post surgery and no longer in any pain. Life is good and I am hopeful. After some PT Dr. G. says that I will be able to resume activities like, golf, biking and tennis. Thank goodness I found Dr. Girardi who is a kind and caring doctor that always seems to have plenty of time for me! I am not rushed out of the office and always leave with everything that I need! His staff is as wonderful as he is! Thank you Dr. Bash for not performing surgery on my spine!!!
Pros: I did not have spine surgery at mos.
Cons: I was doomed to a lifetime of pain!
