Stay away from this butcher ( Dr. Dobkin ). He has a great bed side manner, but don't let that fool you,
and do not let him touch your back.
In January 2010, Dr Dobkin performed a posterior spinal fusion on my spine at L5-s1.
He botched the fusion and caused nerve pain where it never existed.
Without getting into gritty details after this fusion my symptoms got worst and worst. I started to develop Nerve pain, burning and ringing in my feet and legs where it never existed before the surgery. Moreover, once it looked like I was spiraling down, Dr. Dobkin avoided scheduling appointments with me and tried to forward me to a pain specialist.
Four and a half years later I found a brilliant Dr. whom figured out that the bolt placement which Dobkin preformed was wrong for my physiology and the bolts were banging against the bonny structures in my back.
In September 2014, I had this other Doctor clean up after Dobkin and take out the incorrectly placed bolts, fractured bone pieces, and resulting calcification from my back. I also found out that the surgery, which Dobkin, performed was an old style surgery, which most surgeons do not do now a days due to complication rates (such was my case)
I'm finally doing better somewhat , and off pain medications and injections. I suffered for almost 5 years and at one point contemplated suicide, compliments of Dr. Dobkin.
Incidentally, if you had a "successful" surgery with Dobkin, it was probably not him performing it. Most likely Dr. Brown. In any case DO NOT LET THIS MAN TOUCH YOUR BACK. HIS SURGERY TECHNIQUES ARE are from the 80's!
One last point, Dobkin is the Doctor, whom performed my micro disconomy which led to my spinal fusion, and all the indication is that he took out too much disk material from the disk, causing it too colapse hance lading to the L5-s1 fusion.
