Virginia Spine Institute. Had my c-spine fusion 2 years ago and had AMAZING results. Dr. Subach did mine but they're all wonderful.
Stephanie P. replied:
Dr Watenmaker. Not a cut first type of guy.
Susan H. replied:
Dr. Hope in Reston did my back surgery.

Center For Spinal Surgery and Spinal Disorders. Ian Wattenmaker, MD. Cervical Spine, Lumbar Spine, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Spine Rehab. Loudoun Office 224-D Cornwall St, Suite 204 Leesburg VA. 703-777-1553www.wattenmakermd.com Performed a partial laminectomy and disc shaving on me and will perform a fusion when the time is right. Super nice. Takes the time to actually talk to you while in the office. Doesn't push unnecessary procedures.

I used Dr Hope for my FIRST c-spine surgery - wish I would have done more research. The second (yes, second) time around I went to Dr. Warren Yu (chief of Spine Surgery) at GW (I know, it's a hike) and things went much better. http://www.gwdocs.com/orthopaedic-surgery/warren-d-yu

I have heard AMAZING things about Dr. Hope, Lori. I just am not sure how easy it is to get in...
Missy C. replied:
I have just started with Dr. WATTENMAKER. So far he seems great, I need surgery, but not ready to take that jump yet so he will follow me closely until I am ready.
Ok I am looking at a few surgeon who were recommended to do Charley's knee surgery and I am in need of advice. The first one is Dr. Bradley who is located in Manassas. ...
Jackie P. replied:
Of all the dogs I swam for hydrotherapy, Dr Bradley was the doctor for the majority
Paige P. replied:
Dr Bradley did Lulu's knee surgeries...one when Lu was 4, the other a yr and a half later. She was better than new...I continued to run her in agility until she was 13. And I still have Lu...she will be 17 in August. Knees still working!
Jessi S. replied:
I've always heard wonderful things about Dr Bradley!
Jill S. replied:
Thank you guys for all the advice I think I am leaning toward Dr. Bradley. He is closer and I would like more personal attention as well. I like hearing how well Lu did. That's what I ma hoping for for Charley.
Susan D. replied:
Dr Bradley. He saved Snap's life.
Susan D. replied:
Definitely personal attention. You'll speak with Dr B everyday.
Jim P. replied:
I've heard great things about Dr. Bradley from agility competitors.
Susan S. replied:
Dr. Bradley is the one everyone I know recommends.

Oops . . . hit enter too quickly. This guy comes to Tacketts Mill Vet Hosp in Woodbridge to do their surgeries. A good friend of mine is the Vet Tech/Ofc Mgr there and they love him. But, this guy travels to any vet office and to do surgeries. Not sure if your regular vet is open to this idea, but you might ask. He is very good. I've met him; nice guy, too.
