Hi, can anyone recommend a good Orthopedic doctor or Neurologist? I have a herniated disk and am suffering terribly. I am not happy with my current Orthopedic doctor and hoping to switch to someone else. I was told that immediate surgery is my only option. Has anyone had this problem and resolved it without surgery?

Thanks

What can I do next?

Hi M.,

My husband is a physical therapist specializing in orthopedics. We go to Dr. Michael P. Weinstein in Newport Beach. He is the best of the best and is very personable and accessible. My mother and my husband have been his patients for surgery and other care. He is by far the best.

Feel free to e-mail me for more info if you need it. We have referred many to him...most recently my boss for back surgery due to a badly degenerated disc.

Take care,
S.

Before you have surgery, I would Highly Recommend you see Dr. Richard Bobinski ###-###-#### in Newport Beach. He is a chiropractor - but unlike any other I have ever encountered. He litteraly saved me from unneccessary shoulder/back surgery by finally correctly diagnosing a problem that I had sought medical help for over a 5 year period. If he can't help, then I would also recommend Dr. Ram Mudiyam in Fountain Valley. He is an orthopedic surgeon and is very skilled. His number is:###-###-####
Good Luck!
