I had been having massive nerve pain in my right arm and shoulder due to nerve pain. I landed in the ER who did an MRI and a CAT scan and scheduled me with a Neurosurgeon later that week. I went to the Neurosurgeon they briefly looked at my scans, didn't do a physical exam and scheduled me for surgery over a month out....oh and gave me a weeks worth of pain medicine.
After a couple of days, I went to Dr. Musick to see if he could help with the pain until surgery. Dr. Musick looked at the scans and examined me, saw that I had pressure on my spine in addition to the nerve, knew he couldn't do anything, but also knew I needed attention faster than a month later. He immediately referred me to another neurosurgeon who saw me the next day and had me in surgery two days later. The doctor found that I had significant muscle loss and risked permanent damage.
If I had not seen Dr. Musick who mind you did not charge me for the visit, and had he not recognized the severity of the situation and made an immediate referral, I would still be waiting for surgery to fix my neck. To top it it off Dr. Musick called me post surgery to check on me. I am now pain free, and on the mend.
I will go back to Dr. Musick in a couple of months to begin ongoing spinal care. I can not say enough good things and will recommend him to anyone. read more
