Dr. Ratliff reviewed prior cd films of my spine from other providers and clearly showed me and explained what he saw. We discussed other tests to consider but he clearly explained that in all likelihood, spinal neurosurgery would not be able to resolve my medical condition.

We discussed further surgery, and decided it would not substantially improve my quality of life compared to the extensive risks and extended recovery time involved. Physical therapy seems to be a better alternative.

The doctor spent two minutes telling me to stay with my current doctor and plan. My drive from Tracy was a huge waste of time. The students did an exam. The doctors didn't touch me.
