nsg in Louisville, any experience?

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to ask if anyone else had personal experience with Dr.

Gump of Louisville Kentucky. We saw him today and he said our

15 yo does have TCS and he recommended surgery to release, while not

pushing it. He said he has never had a patient get an infection from

surgery, at least that is what I understood him to say. He said the

type of tether was probably a fatty filum. He also said he thinks that

our son's Scheuermann's kyphosis has been partly caused by the TCS and

that trying to treat the SK without first dealing with the TCS would not

be likely to be successful. He said he does about 200 surgeries a year,

that seems like plenty for him to be quite skillful.

Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback for me?

Thanks,
