Need a good back doctor (not a chiropractor). Any suggestions??
Debbie K. replied:
Dr Villanueva is the best neurologist around. Did Nona don't know if you met him. For you?

I agree. Worked with Dr Villanueva. He's awesome
Bunny A. replied:
I've heard about Dr. Villanueva as well. He has a good reputation.

Dr. Wayne Villanueva is an excellent neurosurgeon. If the problem is not a nerve, but is a bone injury, Dr. Thomas Lehman is excellent. However, any time one gets their spine operated on, their is greta risk involved. Dr. David Ruben is a minimal invasive back doctor. Yes, you'll have to get referrals for either. Radio Frequency therapy (RFT) is the least invasive technique, a series of three shots, first two are typical steroid shots, the third shot burns the troubling nerve.
