Failed surgery and completely ignored. Do not recommend

I would not do surgery here. My surgery was a complete failure and emailing Dr Steel I've got no response.



They'll happily take your money but when things go wrong, your completely ignored.



I'm much worse off after surgery. I did a nerve decompression but 10 days after surgery the MRI showed it was still compressed. I'm in much more pain after surgery.



Make it worse, I've got spinal cord issues which didn't exist before surgery.



Follow up about it and completely ignored by Dr Steel and his assistant.



They made things worse for me and now completely ignore me instead of responding to me they tried to block my review.



Do surgery at your own peril, check other comments on here too, I'm not the only one he ignores after causing them injury.



The surgery was really expensive and it was supposed to free up the nerve but after surgery I still have nerve compression on nerve, I'm in alot of pain.



I had a foraminotomy done last month for a right C6 nerve compression. I was in excruciating pain afterwards and took another MRI which showed the same C6 nerve is compressed.



A month after the surgery I'm in worse pain than before surgery. My nerve is still compressed. I was told a foraminotomy would release the nerve and I would be better off. I'm actually worse off, in much more pain.



Dr Steel went on leave, so I saw his associate, another neurosurgeon who told me I need further surgery. The advice was to get more major ACDF neck fusion surgery to correct the problem. It's only been a month since I had the initial surgery but now I'm being told I need more major surgery.



I'm much worse off than what I was before I did this surgery. It was expensive and put me in a worse position and more pain, now I've been told I need surgery again.
