Laser Spine Institute Complaints & Reviews

Laser Spine Institute — unable to walk appropriately

After surgery continue to experience pain and unable to walk appropriate. We never heard from laser spine institute as a follow up on his condition. No one called to see how he was doing and now there are doors are close. We trusted this company to do the right thing unfortunately they just didn't care it was about money. My husband have so much pain and have problem walking. Some days he can't get out bed.

    Laser Spine Institute — spinal surgery on august 28th, 2018

    Was operated on by Dr Weiss from Tampa for spinal stenosis at the end of August. Since then I tried to go back to work, but have been in worse pain and I cannot find a doctor who will have me as a patient because they didn't do the surgery. I had gone to the Laser institute for follow-up x-rays, but now they are closed and I have nowhere to go for help.

      Laser Spine Institute — failed surgery

      Past patient and employee. I do "NOT" recommend. Only of you're extremely knowledgable about your condition/options/and LSI. Do your homework. I thought I did. I'm in more pain after the surgery than before. Was a candidate for a minimally invasive fusion if regenedisc didn't work as well as a different minimally invasive procedure by the previous surgeon ( if the diagnostic tests were positive). Two different surgeons at the same institute with different recommendations. My 3rd opinion from a reputable ortho was that I'm looking at a two level fusion. Do everything possible to avoid it.. Exhaust all conservative options. 4th opinion with a well respected neuro.. Same recommendation as the ortho. Both surgeons that were not a part of the laser spine institute strongly advised against the additional surgery suggested by my surgeon at LSI. Note..your initial MRI review is not always reviewed by a physician or a nurse. Demand that your records are reviewed by a physician prior to moving forward and ask to speak with one, especially if you're traveling. It's not abnormal to be turned away at the time of consult because your records were not properly processed/reviewed prior to making arrangements w/ LSI for surgery. Please, make sure you know what you're doing before giving them your credit card for a deposit. FYI.. When I was there .. They would ring a bell and cheer whenever they scheduled a surgery/consult. The sales team that sold the most surgeries got to go on a "party bus" on Friday night as a reward. I'm embarrassed that I was so naive prior to the surgery although my eyes were wide open as the days passed and I realized my back would never be the same.. and not in a good way. As my Ortho said.. "My surgeon didn't do me any favors". He asked me.. "Did your surgery work?".. The response was obviously no. He replied.. "Then please tell others as I treat LSI patients regularly". When I told him I worked there the look on his face was priceless. A mix of disgust, frustration, confusion, and empathy. That sat with me for the last few years.. It still does. With a heavy heart and a bad back I offer this to any of you that are considering a minimally invasive procedure. There is no such thing. My post op MRI is proof.

          They are more then willing to accept Medicare for the operation they want another $20, 000.00 for the use of their facility for the one day. If this isn't a scam what is????

        Laser Spine Institute — treatment not effective

        I went there for advanced lumbar spondylosis. They said it would be $18, 000 cash. They did the first surgery and then immediately, the same day said i needed another surgery and they would give us a discount so instead of another $18, 000 they would "be so kind" as to only charge $12, 000. I was just coming out of the anaesthetic when they dumped this on us. Of course we said yes after they laid all these fear trips on us. Mean while after 6 months, i am still in pain and they will not return phone calls. I don't know if a class action law suit has to be in the same state but we went to their arizona place. Each doc i have gone to at home who has reviewed my mri has said they operated on the wrong area for where my pain was.
        Anyone want to join a class action law suit? Any good lawyers interested? I know there are thousands of people who feel like their tv ads are false advertising and that we all got duped!

            I have had 2 surgerys done at the Philadelphia Laser Spine.The first one helped the pain for about 2 months.Went back to work the pain was back worse then ever.14 months later I was back for the second time. This was worse then the first, they gave me a spinal leak.They pain has been awful.Because of it I haven't been able to return to work.I can't stand for more than 10 minutes without burning pain in my lower back and running down into my right hip.The last surgery was March of2015.They let me believe that my insurance would cover most of it.Last month I started getting bills for $17, 000.00.I explained to them that I only have Social Security because my husband died In August after being in the hospital and nursing home for 2 months.He hadnt been able towork so we lost the Insurance he had at work.I had thousands of dollars that I had to pay out, not counting for the funeral.Do you think they would help me?.No I got more bills damanding at least $900.00 amonth.When I only have $25.00 left after the bills are paid this is hard to do.I did go back in May and told them how bad my back was hurting.I was told it was because I was old.Isn't it funny that I wasn't too old 2 months before when they done the second operation?

          Laser Spine Institute — damage and cronic pain

          Within 2 months I had Chronic pain and numbness, They said to wait a year or 2 and it should go away . Yeah right
          I am worse than ever Numbness down both legs, feet and toes, Caused from damaged nerves from surgery.
          I can hardly walk now at times and the pain is at its worst ever . I ended up closing my business and putting about 15 people out of work.
          I need a good Florida lawyer In the LSI area who has dealt with them in the past and hopefully on contingency
          Thanks, Peter
