I interviewed at least 4 different orthopedic doctors and chose Dr Katzman simply because of what he had offered me. Outpatient surgery, minimally invasive and he went 4 levels deep meaning that he took care of 4 herniated/bulging discs, bone spurs on facets and ligament overgrowth all on the left side of my spine L1-S1. Had broken my femur due to unknown reasons the year before in 2019 and had a rod inserted and in researching how the femur could have broken, came to the conclusion that it was my gait and weight put on the femur.When I interviewed Dr Katzman, he had guessed that I had at least 3 herniated/bulging discs along with the bone/ligament overgrowth. All of the other doctors didn't possess the intuition that Dr Katzman portrayed and they all wanted to do traditional spinal surgery with fusion, plates and screws. Well I was having none of that since the rod in my leg was more than enough. The MRI prior to surgery showed 5 herniated/bulging discs.So the entire procedure was done as I had been told and was up and walking about normally the next day. Yes my gait has changed again but with baseline issues being resolved I don't think broken bones will be in my future.Dr Katzman is a brilliant surgeon. I'd recommend and use him in a heartbeat for any spinal issues
