More Artificial Disc Scams on Facebook | (Ep:10 Spine Scams Exposed) 

i had a 2 level lumbar disc replacement in germany in 2008. Best thing I ever did. No pain and do anything I want with no restrictions. This guy's procedure doesn't stop the degeneration of the disc and DDD will continue with other levels.

I keep watching dr. deuk's videos everytime i feel so much pain in new areas after c5-c6 fusion....If only i lived nearby....

Dr. Deuk, I’m binge watching these videos on your channel in awe of both your empathy, expertise, and subtle humor. I hope to become like you after I graduate college and get on my way to medical school, except to go into psychiatry! Thank you for being a great spine surgeon for your patients and an inspiration to those watching the channel!

Wow, I'm glad I saw this video !!

3 months I had Dr Deuk fix my artificial disc from 22 years ago. Over time it slipped 1/2 way out ! Other Drs argued with me that it was put incorrectly! It was not. It was lined up perfectly! They seem to move over time !

I’m glad I watch this video I was thinking about getting a artificial disc myself not now after watching this

hi can i come to usa to do this please and what is the cost for c5 c6 c7 neck

I'm being told that I have "minor" DDD and "minor" bulging of L4 L5 S1 disks and "minor" Spinal stenosis. All minor and no where near needing surgery. Well, good. I don't want a surgery either. But, why is it that after spending a day and half in the emergency room 12 days of hospital rehab, Two months of physical therapy, I'm still have pain? weak legs? I am so lost. They keep saying it's nothing. Just so lost. Also, what is the cost for laser surgery? is it something you can have health insurance to pay for?

I had a 2 level replacement in 2006, and it was the Best decision I ever made. I’ve been pain free since then, and off all pain meds since. I was told by 4 other spine surgeons that I needed fusions. Please research your doctor and the options.

We need to take away life altering decisions away from insurance companies and have a panel of the most experienced surgeons say what is covered because they know what works , seems insane to me that some individuals working for the insurance companies are the deciding factors in people’s lives , laser needs to be covered by Medicare , it would save money long term when patients get better, recovery = no more expensive treatments that aren’t working

Not all doctors are bad, we have insurance and they usually have standards. I hope what you’re saying is not for all doctors.

I am so glad I never had this in 2010, they wanted to replace three discs in my lumbar spine and I decided against it. I’m still in pain but not in a wheelchair. Hard to find ethical back surgeons that’s a fact.

Hi Dr What do you mean by repairing your disk? After removing the herniated disc portion by laser, do you also repair the tear on the disc capsule? Thank you

What is your opinion on the TOPS device ? I have severe L4-5 Stenosis with L4 disc overlap.

I live in DC metro area. My spine surgeon is Dr Cory Wallach at the Anderson Orthopedic Clinic. Have you heard of this group? I’ve had 2 fusions at L3/L4 and L4/L5. Just had an MRI showing L1/L2 and L5/S1 to be herniated. I’m in terrible pain. I don’t know what to do? Do you think your laser procedure could help? I’m 67, a lifelong , full time martial artist with a full time school for 35 years. I can’t even stand for 2 classes because my pain is so bad. I can send my MRI for you to examine. Please get back to me. Dr Wallach will do fusions, but I’m so tired of surgeries. (I’ve also had a hip replacement and both knees replaced, and my big toe rebuilt-another story). Do you think fusions are my only choice? This is complicated, I know, but I’m willing to try anything to relieve my pain and continue to practice and teach my art, Taekwondo-Do.

Could you please let me know how many days after the surgery that you didn't have anymore tingling ?

I wish I can share my scans with this Dr 🙂

So if not ADR then what solution is better for thinning disc? Fusion?? I would choose ADR over fusion sorry.

What if the disc is worn and decreased in height by aging factor ? Not bulged. What treatment is the best in this case ? thank you.

Dr Deuk, I’m having L4-L5 Sponsythesis . Can it be treated with DLDR.

Hi, my doctor recommended microdicectomy. He said endoscopic takes more time for no reason. What are your thoughts?

Is this Medicare covered?

Can you tell me please if prolozone injections are safe ?

My husband got his put in through the back

So how does your laser fix a disc that’s bone on bone? I’m a lumbar adr patient L5S/1 that’s doing absolutely great I was informed before surgery 80% of patients are happy with the outcome so unfortunately there is 200 unhappy patients per 1000 surgeries thankfully I’m not one of them I was prepared to take that risk and don’t regret it a single bit I’ve got my life back but I feel so sad for unlucky outcomes god bless 🙏

😮

I sent a message. I admire musks philosophy. The best part is no part. I sent a message to your office. We can move ahead and I’ll like to be evaluated by your doctors.

The ROI ❤❤❤ c'est Tragique, no

Nothing says "scientific method" like reading a bunch of comments from random Facebook posts. Maybe try some scientific studies next time????
