I may require a discectomy. I've lost partial use of my right leg, surgeon thinks it's a ruptured disc pressing on a nerve root.
I've done a Google search on the surgeon and have a range of 1 star for supposedly screwing up a hip replacement to several 5 star reviews for people that he helped.
Is there a publicly accessible source for physician competence that I haven't found? His credentials online are impressive, but I know how a resume can be fluffed AND I'm from Texas where the infamous Dr. Death practiced.
I want to do as much due diligence as possible, but i'm unable to find anything other than "he's the devil" or "he saved my life" which isn't helpful.
Any suggestions?
