Texas Back Institute DO NOT GO TO TBI! The surgeons care more about their study results than patient care!! Plano, Texas

I became a patient at TBI in Dec 2006 due to severe lower back and pelvic pain. Dr. Zigler performed a disc replacement surgery on L5S1. When it didn't help my pain, he was totally uninterested in helping me. I've found proof online that he has personally invested money into some of the company's that he does these "studies" for which would lead me to believe he has a personal stake in making sure the results of these studies are positive. Just please please please reconsider if you are thinking of going to TBI or having surgery there as part of a study.

5 years later I am still in immense pain and I'm having to have another surgery to stabalize the experimental artficial disc I received because it can't be removed without endangering my life. Dr. Zigler has been totally uninterested in me as a patient or in tying to find out the cause of my pain once the surgery failed. Please consider your options as there are many in Dallas and I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Dr. Zigler to have to deal with what I've dealt with the last 5 years.
