Dr. Barry Katz, MD

I saw the other 1-star review and had to submit a significantly different opinion. Had spinal fusion 8 months ago - doctor in MN fused 2 vertebrae, should have done 3. Dr. Katz saw it on the X-ray right away.

had surgery posterior, left middle screw out, said it may fuse we would have to wait and see. of course he did not tell me about the screw , i was alerted by my pain management dr. he said he had never seen a fusion like that before. had revision surgery anterior and new hardware posterior. am 7 weeks out and can already tell the difference.all he had to do was flip me over and secure spine from the front. all i will say is i still have time before my two years is up!!
