    Default Dr. Chebuhar or Blumenthal

    Has anyone here had any experience or heard anything about either Dr. Chebuhar at Pinnacle Ortho in GA (Pinnacle Orthopaedics | Craig M. Chebuhar, M.D.) or About Dr. Scott Blumenthal of Texas Back?

    Dr. Blumenthal does my ADR follow up and I love him. He is a great guy, very thorough and takes the time to explain things to you. I did not have surgery with him, because I was in a clinical trial and the Texas location had already completed all patients, he is one of the best ADR surgeons though.

    Hello
    I'm actually from Georgia and I'm traveling back and forth to Texas Back Institute.My Cervical Orthopaedic Dr. Isador Lieberman recommeded Dr. Blumental because of his expertise in ADR surgery.Both my husband and I like him alot.He's very knowledgeable and thorough.His team as well are very helpful with questions.I have done alot of research and believe he's very good at what he does. :thumpup: I'm having surgery in September ADR L4-5 and ALIF at L5-S1.Of course this is my opinion and I always say research and asking others is your best tool.So your definetly on the right road. Good Luck with your search and sorry your having spine troubles !!
