Dr Stevenson operated on my wife when he practiced in Atlanta. He botched the surgery. It was my wife's second fusion which the first one was very successful. My wife woke up after surgery and couldnt move or feel her right leg. After telling Stevenson he said it was just trama and swelling and that it would get better. After a ct and going back in the scan showed he had put the screws directly crisscrosse into her spin coursing permanent nerve damage to her leg. Run away. He was fired.

Not much bedside manner, he does not belive in the use of braces after surgery which i belived had alot to do with my failed acdf surgery! He also did an SI fusion on me that 2 doctors have said i did not need. I NEVER saw him one time after both surgeries, he will send his assistant in! They took one set of xrays and said i looked great when in reality i was NOT! my new dr told me that i needed a ct scan to show if i was fusing. Everything was loose when i just reoperated on! Nothing had fused!
