Patient Reviews
Apr 13, 2023
Update to my review below: Three other surgeons disagreed with Dr. O. All three surgeons agreed I needed L4-5 fusion, TLIF, no doubt. I had surgery with one of them, and I’m glad I did, even though the recovery was hard. Previous review: I saw Dr. Ohaegbulam recently for a surgical consultation related to lower back pain and sciatica symptoms ongoing for 1.5 years. He reviewed my records, my MRI, talked with me, and offered a fresh perspective on my situation. His opinion was that I am not currently a surgical candidate, and based on my atypical symptom presentation, he came up with a non-surgical treatment idea that has not yet been tried. He communicated that idea with my pain management team. This gave me hope. I guess a great surgeon also knows when not to do surgery. I also liked his knowledgeable but low-key and respectful-to-the-patient manner. If I do need surgery, or if my condition doesn't improve, I would not hesitate to go back to him.
