Dallaskibby,

I have not posted anything that is not true...Others have posted their stories about Jho to this thread and to other forums...I think if Jho were as good as the few people that post to a few threads say he is we would see more stories about him on the Internet...I have done a search and just do not find that many people singing his praises...There are as many good stories as bad...

The fact that you were back to work in 12 days and playing sports in 4 weeks tells me that you did not have extensive problems before the surgery.

I think you can tell by my signature that my spinal problems are extensive. I would never waste my time by contacting Jho. I sought only the best surgeons at the best hospitals in the world. I started at Johns Hopkins and then went into NYC. I admit my laminectomy failed...We knew it might at the onset...I wanted to try something that was not as extensive as a fusion at first...The problems with my spine start at the top and go to the SI joints...I doubt that Jho would ever entertain the thought of helping me...or could...He does not have the expertise or the time. He is in and out of the operating room with most patients in hours. My lumbar fusion was 16 hours and took two days...It took the skill of a highly trained OSS....Someone who had done many multi-level fusions..Most spinal surgeons have not done more than a three level or will not do more than a three level fusion....There are not many of surgeons in the US that can do a multi-level fusion and do it with success....I am not pain free, but my spine is stable and my pain is better that it was before my surgery.

I am glad that you had a good outcome with Dr. Jho...I do not know how far out from surgery you are...but I think you should read some of the testimonials at Healthboards...There seemed to be more people there that posted about failed surgeries. I do not know if those posts are still archived because the last time I searched for info was probably in 2004/2005....At that time there seemed to be many more posts from people that were disgruntled and unhappy about their treatment and surgeries. It also seems that about one year after the surgery is when people started to have difficulties, so please do be careful with your activities, no matter how well you feel now. Good luck with your surgery....and I do hope you are getting regular follow-ups...I saw my surgeon at four weeks, eight weeks, three months, six months, nine months, one year, fifteen months, eighteen months, two years, ...and now about every six months...I see him now for my cervical spine...and thoracic spine as well...You can see as I said...I have extensive problems...Jho would never see me as a patient...I would mess up his statistics...
