yeah, the first guy i saw is super reputable but pushing 70 and only does spinal fusion. the second guy is literally a generation younger and said fusion is likely in my future but to pursue spinal decompression. the third guy seems middle of the road, probably 40s, although i wasn't a big fan of him and felt he lacked overall confidence and optimism. seeing him monday for MRI report. 4th opinion is scheduled for thursday but if 3rd opinion gives me a better impression and good options i may go with him as he can get me scheduled in about 2 weeks. not sure how old 4th opinion is or what his style is. am trying to get his nurse to call me back.
