I was warned by very informed physicians and medical personnel to stay away from Jho...He was originally with U of Pittsburgh Hospital System...He is no longer with them, but instead with Drexel University, Allegheny Hospital....There is a reason for that and I suppose it might be the way he handles problems with patients or rather from what I am reading here, "does not handle problems, he ignores his patients." Again, I repeat, my physicians have stated that his statistics can not be repeated by anyone. I think if you have some minimal problem, you might be helped by him, but if you are told by other surgeons that you need a fusion, stay away....I agree with everything Kathi is saying...

I have a three level cervical fusion and a six level lumbar fusion and have no regrets with either surgery.
