Patient Resources BY HUYEN NGUYEN, NOVEMBER 7, 2005

Lately we have received numerous inquiries from patients with questions about surgery, procedures and devices. As a financial firm, we cannot provide clinical advice and refer all patients to their physicians. We can, however, provide a list of websites that will help answer patient questions. We are supportive of patient education and hope these resources prove useful.

For community discussion of your condition, we recommend the Health Boards and Spine-health.com forums.
