I don't feel like Dr Tuchman addressed the concern of my spine and the grinding sound I showed him. I was told it was air being released. That definitely is not the case. I believe it's more than just air. Therefore, on to find a better hands on neurosurgeon.

The doctor offered no insight or solution and simply told me he couldn't do anything for me. He did not recommend anyone else I could see. I am in an extreme amount of pain and spending all this money for a doctor to simply ignore my concerns and say thanks for coming in I can't help you goodbye is outrageous

Dr Tushman listened well to my issues. During our discussions he used a few terms that I didn't necassarily understand. On these occasions I told him I didn't understand or recognize the terms but he didn't clarify. I got a sense he was pressed for time and that may have been the reason for his response
