Dr Cummock is excellent conservative surgeon. I went to him for pain in my back and leg. He said he thought it was coming from my hip. He was right I had hip replacement and 90% of pain disappeared. He said he was the last on the chain to make sure it isn’t something else before doing any back surgery. He is fantastic doctor.
