If you are going to get non invasive back surgery from Dr Orisek, be very careful. Do some research and consult at least two other Drs. 7 1/2 weeks out from my L5 S1 Fusion I am in extreme pain. They do not like to prescribe any pain medication. I had the surgery done here in El Dorado Hills in the West Coast Joint and Spine Center. This is not a hospital, there is no aftercare.

Surprised so many people had good experiences. Every time we dealt with orisek he was uninterested and rude.

Please, for your own safety do your research and find a different doctor.
