Dr. John Mazur, the Spine Surgery Specialist, is a board-certified neurosurgeon practicing in Aurora, Illinois and Dekalb, IL. In 2011, Dr. Mazur was listed in US News as one of the top neurological surgeons in the country. Dr. Mazur brings more than 25 years of experience to each surgery he performs.
Even though health care has changed, Dr. Mazur's philosophy has not. He feels that the doctor/patient relationship is still as important today as it was when he first started practicing over 25 years ago.
While it is unfortunate that insurance companies have taken an active role in determining medical treatment; Dr. Mazur has pledged not to do unnecessary surgery. He will not do larger surgery when smaller surgery is better. As his patient, you will be kept informed about every stage of the surgical process.
These are some of the diagnostic tests which may be performed on-site:
• X-ray
• CAT/CT scan
• MRI
• Myleogram
• Discogram
• Bone scan
• DEXA scan
The doctor and his staff will make a detailed evaluation of your injury, current pain and weakness, and the limitations your symptoms place upon you. You will receive several treatment options, and the doctor will outline the pros and cons of each to help you make an informed decision. You are ultimately responsible for your own health choices, and Dr. Mazur will make sure your choices are as informed as possible.
Treatment options include:
• Anterior cervical disectomy
• Anterior cervical disectomy with fusion
• Foraminotomy
• Lumbar laminectomy
• Lumbar microdisectomy
