Doctor treats you like family

I had been seeing an Orthopedic Surgeon for some lower back problems. He felt that if the epidurals stopped working, surgery was next. Well, they stopped working and it looked like I would need lower back surgery soon. I discussed my treatment and condition with Dr. Guo and that I was satisfied with the opinions of the Orthopedist. We talked about it and he had certain reservations. He treating me like family, telling me that if I was his brother, he would have me see a very highly recommended Neurosurgeon for a second opinion and possible surgery. He took the time to explain to me that while my Orthopedic Surgeon was very good and had operated on me in the past, that when it came to the nerve problems I was experiencing within the spine, I should be seeing a Neuro Surgeon instead. I will be seeing him in April. Until then, he worked out a safe medicinal treatment that made my discomfort tolerable until my appointment with him in April The tenor and compassion in his voice told me I was in good hands and taking the right path.,
