bojackson Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I know it's been covered here previously but I can't find it. Looking for a good orthopedic doctor here lakeside for an acute non emergency back situation. Recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

bmh Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 dr gabriel Martinez does not operate on back. He did a great job on my shoulder so when I had a sciatic problem , i went to him and he told me he did not do back .He looked at my MRI and referred me to the other orthopec in Quality care..That one is a surgeon. Both told me I needed surgery .I did not do it went to dr Gonzales who injected me with cortison and told me that I needed surgery. He operate on backs as well. Did not have surgery and a year later I am still looking for alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyjillin Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Ross is Gonzales' son and they are both of the same mind as to be as unobtrusive as possible. To them surgery is the last resort when all else fails. Both are available at HSA and I have been treated by both-No surgery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been more than twenty years and I haven’t had back pain since. I don’t know if Tai Chi helped or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He approached my input pragmatically rather than being dismissive like most MDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
