Doctor bookwalter is a brilliant surgeon. He also caused me permanent damage in 2007 that I will never fully recuperate from. He performed a laminectomy on my L5 vertebrae. I have PTSTI wake up in the middle of night screaming I think surgeons are screwing with me and I'm gonna feel it again the pain gives me nightmares I'm 50 years old and I have mental problems because of my surgery in 2007.

It was recommended by my PCP that I see a neurosurgeon due to multiple findings on my low back MRI. He came into the room after reviewing my MRI results. He told me that my MRI results were nothing more than age related degenerative changes. He had me stand up, touch my toes and walk. He then did a quick reflex assessment of my lower extremities.
