Run!!! I'm glad I did or I would have had rods & screws put in my spine that I did not even need! Without even having any kind of discussion about what my issue was, he went straight to the most extreme kind of surgery there is. A 2nd opinion from a reputable spine surgeon along with consulting an orthopedic surgeon determined that I needed a hip replacement & now all of my pain is gone. Steer clear of Dr. Bady.......he cares more about getting paid for doing expensive surgery than he does about you.
