So I was less then a month before my scheduled laminectomy and spinal fusion, and got news that my orthopedic surgeon broke his shoulder and required emergency surgery HIMSELF. What luck I have. Im now getting referred to a neurosurgeon and he specializes in cervical and lumbar spine surgeries. I guess my question is simply this, to all that have had any spinal surgery performed, was it done by an orthopedist or a neuro doc, and does anything they would have done differently or would you have stayed with the doc choice you made? Confused right now.
