Had the AccuraScope procedure done by North American Spine in Dallas, Tx by Dr. Robert Bulger on Dec. 15, 2011. I walked into the facility with slight numbness in right foot and now I am totally bedridden with numbness in both feet and ankles. When I get upright the disc pain is severe and numbness quickly progresses in depth and spreads up my legs. Thus, here I lie in bed in fear of being paralized for good. Stay away from North American Spine! The doctor claims I was in the same shape before the surgery which is very far from the truth, his report was riddled with half truths and lies about my pre-surgery status vs. post surgery status.I walked in and now totally bedridden for 3-1/2 months with no signs of relief.

Do not go to North American Spine. This is a dangerous procedure that has ruined my life and many others. I have met many people now that have been ruined by these doctors. I have not met one yet who has had a good experience. These are doctors that do not care about the patients. They care about their Panerai watches. Only some people will understand that one. Anyway, do not go to North American Spine. DANGER! SCAM! I am very sad that I fell for it because I was in a lot of pain and desperate and now I am ruined forever. VERY SAD.

A lot of talk about Laser Spine Surgery and as a individual who needs surgery, I have been researching the various minimal invasive options to pursue.

One surgery center which I have ruled out is North American Spine (Dayton Laser Spine or Riverview Health). Take a look at this web site:

Any surgery center where they have no malpractice and are found to be liable for outcomes such as this is NOT FOR ME. I advise to say away from North American Spine!!!

Please disregard these complaints. Every doctor, medical procedure, medical office is going to have complaints. Some of the complaints sometimes come from doctors who don't even know what they're talking about. I've been there. I can tell you that they gave me my life back and did so with a smile and generosity. I read all the negative press before going. My doctor at the time even told me that it was voodoo. However, just examining the procedure with the videos they provided and listening to the doctor who is supposed to be so awful, the procedure made common sense. It made a lot more sense than what my current doctor was doing just pumping me full of enough narcotics to kill my liver in about six months. Literally within hours of the surgery my pain was gone. I get the feeling that opponents of the procedure would rather stay addicted to their pain medicine than actually have the problem fixed. And by the way, the physicians assistant, Doug kept in constant phone contact with me even weeks after my surgery which is a lot more than I can say about so many worthless pain management doctors who simply dump you when they're done with you. They are actually just DEA puppets who don't really want to help anyone. So stay on narcotics and party like it's your last days or go to Dayton Laser and Spine and get things fixed.
