Neuro or Ortho
Hi, thought I would throw in my two cents. I had ACDF on C3-C7 in 2004. My doc was the same ortho surgeon who did my lumbar fusion. He has a great reputation and I trusted him completely. My recovery was excellent and the objectives of surgery were met. The only other 2 people that I know personally who have had cervical fusion were my brother and my stepmother. Both of them had single level fusion and they used neurosurgeons. Both had a multitude of problems and my brother is still going through the mill trying to get reasonable relief from pain. I guess the main thing is to choose a doc who you have heard other people have been happy with, who has a good reputation, and who you feel you can trust. I'm not saying one is better than the other, this is just my experience. Best of luck!
