Hi. I have mixed on him and Cleveland Clinic in general. I do feel that he is skilled and if one did get something like scs he would be a good one to do it. I am currently seeing a new pain doc. My friend though who had her scs implanted by him is doing well but she went through a lot to get to this point of failed treatment and many other opinions then him too. I also can relate as not by him but a doctor at UCLA was suggested the scs and this one I am currently seeing after a few more other smaller treatments said he would suggest it to. I go back and forth with just wanting to try and not wanting to. Hope you continue to find relief and come to a choice that works.
