Dr. Kenneth J. Kopacz I went to Dr. Kopacz this week for a…read moresecond opinion. This will be the third surgery on my spine and the original doctor wanted to bring me in and do the same thing for a third time. Problem is the L4 L5 keep slipping. And the L4 is clearly very inflamed. Dr Kopacz went over the MRI with me and explained what's happening with my spine. He explained what needs to be done to prevent this from happening again. He was very personable and had a very sweet disposition. He never rushed, he took his time and explained everything to me. Including all the things that can go wrong. This will be a four hour surgery including having to put a cage in my spine BUT to do this he will need a vascular surgeon because they will be going in through the front then turn me over and put the screws in the back. I was most impressed with the amount of time he spent with me. One of the reasons I initially called his office was because of his education and his reviews. People really love him. I was definitely impressed with his knowledge and he explained everything in layman terms not physician terms. He makes sure you understand. I would definitely recommend Dr Kopacz.

My experience was a long journey as I wanted the best Surgeon but more importantly someone that could explain why I needed surgery to the point where I understood my body would never repair itself.

The rest is history as I am pain free and grateful and looking forward to life p.s. my first impression was I like this guy as he's the first to talk to me as a person and not the next surgery!

After 2 weeks during after surgery follow up I asked him why I was tilting to the left, he said all my muscles were cut and I would have to wait for 2 years for my muscles to get strong enough to straighten me back up. 3 months later the rods came out of the couplings and had to go back in for surgery to put them back in. Over the 2 year period I was having a lot of trouble because I was tilted to the left. After 2 years I asked for it to be fixed because I was having to much pain, and Dr. Baaj responded that no surgeon would ever go back in to fix it because I was high risk and should look into getting a lift placed in my left shoe to straighten me up. I did so having a foot specialist determine it would take a 7/8" lift to equalize me. The lift never helped, so I was not only living with pain but also was getting depressed because I had nothing to look forward to. I moved to San Diego in December 2023 and started going to a pain management doctor, he decided to send me to see a Neurosurgeon for a consultation in mid 24, thinking he could assist with all the pain I was having at T10. He was unable to assist but said I should see Dr. Mundis, an Orthopedic Surgeon at Scripps in La Jolla. Dr Mundis said he could help, I was under the impression that he was going to do something around the T10 area, but he informed me that he was going to pull out all the hardware from my pelvis to T10 and install new hardware from my pelvis to T3. He determined with testing that I was not high risk and he promised I would once again be straight and if I wasn't he would go back in and fix any issues. I actually had tears in my eyes because it gave me hope. Just as a note, I was actually straight, looking front to back before my surgery with Dr. Baaj, but from side to side I was a mess. I went through the new spine fusion in Oct 24 and as promised I was perfectly straight. I highly recommend Dr. Mundis for severely deformed spines. To close, I put down that MAYBE I would recommend Dr. Baaj for future surgeries, because advancements in technology could assist Dr. Baaj to better insure the spine fusions turn out the way they are supposed to turn out. I may have been a difficult case, but Dr. Baaj never once offered to correct the fusion after he realized I was tilting to the left. 2nd, he took all my hope away when he said that no other doctor would ever go back in to fix it, so I lived with it for 3.5 years until I found out otherwise. You may turn out well with Dr. Baaj but I lost all confidence in him. If any Doctor ever wanted to view the before and after views of Dr. Baaj's work and the results of Dr. Mundis's work, all they need to look at are the full body X-rays. I suffered for 3.5 years and had it not been for a caring pain management doctor, Dr. Patel who actually cared about getting me some relief and getting me off of morphine I would still be suffering because I was not looking for another surgeon because Dr. Baaj told me himself that no surgeon would ever go back in to fix it. These comments are true to the best of my memory.

We noticed green infection right away f called Dr. Leslie Cohen Plastic Surgeon made us wait until our 2 week visit to see her & sis not perform blood work. We listened to them & she suffered thru many months of treatment ,intubation opening & cleaning the wound,surgery for lumps pic lines & still years later the surgery failed & no one will touch her because of the poor surgery that was done by Dr. Baaj & Dr. Leslie Cohen. She has no life because & neither do we. They promised she would be better but they made her worse. I felt confident when we first met them now I'm sorry I entrusted my daughter. Cohen wasn't even Board Certified when she did the surgery we found out later & we traveled from Pa to N.Y. & she never had the equipment when got there. We made trips there for nothing. She was very disorganized & never showed compassion. Being a fool I even bought her flowers as a thank you gift. Yellow because she said she like yellow flowers & had them at her wedding. I'm not mean but I'm so hurt what they did to my daughter & no one stood up for her or helped her. We couldn't get a lawyer because when they found out who her parents were they wouldn't take the case. Up until then they were all into it. Guess they have a lot of political pull also. Even within the hospital their lawyer was brusk with my husband but I bet if it was her children or grandchildren it would be a different story. Even after all these years I had to say something because eats away when she can't sleep because she hurts so badly & her neck is twisted. They fused her neck so she can't turn it screwin it are loose f she's always in pain & no one can or will help her. I curse the day I entrusted my daughter to these drs.

I was surprised to see so many negative reviews concerning Dr. Lipson. My experience with him…read moredates back to 2023 when I was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis in the L4,L5 lumbar regions and was having moderate to severe pain down through my right buttocks. After trying P/T, various pain drugs, and spinal epidermal shots, all of which provided no relief, I started to visit some neuro surgeons. The first three I visited all said spinal fusion was my only option. Having two relatives who had spinal fusion in which the recovery period was about one year and they were still experiencing some pain and now had limited mobility, I decided I wanted to avoid fusion if at all possible. Dr. Lipson was the fourth surgeon that I visited and after Xray, CT and MRI tests he determined that he could help me without the need for fusion or major surgery. In December, 2023, as an outpatient at Morristown Medical center he performed two minimally invasive surgical procedures: L4/L5 Hemilaaminotomy/Foraminotomy which opened up space in my vertebrae for the nerves that were being compressed. He also implanted a titanium Intralaminar Coflex spacer between my L4/L5 spinal regions which pushed apart the two vertebra to relieve pressure on my nerves. I went home the same day and except for some minor stiffness which persisted for about 8 weeks my pain was gone. By avoiding fusion I was able to maintain my full range of spinal motion, my recovery period was extremely short and I was able to resume my normal activities such as walking, hiking, snow removal, kayaking etc. without pain and within three weeks of my operation. I have had no reoccurrence of any pain since. I am now seeing Dr. Lipson again to get his opinion on some cervical spine issues I'm having in which the previous surgeon that I visited said fusion was my only option and that I would lose some neck mobility and the recovery period would be months. I should add that I found all his staff members, especially his surgical coordinator, to be extremely courteous and professional.
