Where is the best place for spine surgery in Los Angeles?

I don't trust rating media. I have found there is a lot of hype and doctors and clinics not nearly that advertised.

Any opinions based on personal experience? UCLA, Cedars, others. or specific doctors for lumbar disectomy would be great!

    I do not know any specific providers,but, in general, make sure you are considering surgery for nerve compression (leg pain) and not back pain.

    Too many do expensive fusions for back pain that will fail, in time. The last thing you need is a surgery that you do not really need
