Dr. Vemuri built NoBSSpineConsult.com because he saw too many patients who had been recommended surgery they didn't need — or denied surgery they did need — without ever having a second set of eyes on their imaging.

What if the two surgeons disagree?A disagreement between two qualified surgeons means your case involves genuine clinical judgment. Ask each surgeon to explain specifically why they disagree, and consider which reasoning makes more sense given your symptoms and goals.
