Dr. Donald Graham on South Florida’s WSVN TV, talking about the troubling trend of unnecessary back surgery.
A pioneer in spinal surgeries innovations (he holds the first patent for an artificial cervical disc), Dr. Graham is a strong proponent of a conservative approach to treatment. Indeed, he is a believer in surgery as a last resort. In recent years, he has been increasingly skeptical, even dismayed, at the x-fold increase in spinal surgery and fusion procedures being performed. To this end, he founded Second Opine Spine which provides independent second opinions on spinal surgery diagnoses. http://www.secondopinespine.com/
