    Default hello..i have not posted in a long time....

    I just wanted to ask the community if they have ever heard of a doctor named dr. Frank cammisa? He's the chief of hospital for special surgery. I just want to see if anyone has seen him and what they think. He charges a consult fee of 600 dollars without insurance and wanted to see if he's worth the money.

    Thanks

    Can you give us a first name and definite location? There are probably a thousand doctors with that last name.

    Mark Kim stated the doctor's full name in his original post -- Dr. Frank Cammisa -- and the location --> Hospital for Special Surgery.

    A quick search on Google revealed this: Dr. Frank Cammisa is the Chief of the Spine Service at Hospital for Special Surgery.
