Shouldn't you stick with the doc who told you this needed to be done? I hope you're not looking for somewhere cheaper.

well..ive been to raleigh neurology....they seem pretty friendly and knowledgeable....but i went for totally different issue than you...

7/20/2006 9:31:11 PM

fusing good luck with that


Duke has a really good reputation for neurosurgery

7/20/2006 9:32:59 PM

i work with several at duke.............work in the Nicu

no not the sick babies


Allan Friedman is good


he does mostly tumors tho

there are several on staff though........and this crop of residents are pretty good.


ive seen a few laminectomy patients while there, but im not sure who did the surgery.

Its for me

I've got several malformed vertibrae, and apparently I'm lucky I havent been paralyzed thus far

i've heard good things about the neurosurgeons at duke
are you sure you need a neurosurgeon and not an orthopedist that is a spine specialist?
if you are willing to travel, baptist hospital in winston-salem is pretty good too.

A lot of our clients for the law firm go to Raleigh Neurology. I regularly review their medical records and feel that its a top notch practice. They do not recommend unnecessary procedures.

if i am gonna have neurosurgery i want to go somewhere where they have a dedicated neuro icu...just in case shit goes wrong, they can transfer me there rather than wasting time to get an ambulance to drive me to a hospital with a neuro icu

just something to think about when choosing a hopsital to have your surgery. And check to see which hospitals in the area that lets your surgeon have privileges.
