Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Zahir, orthopedic surgeon from Georgetown? He has a new office in Leonardtown. I finally found someone who will take my worker's comp. I settled the case for just back pay and left medicals open back around 1985. The fusion has failed and I am out on disability. I don't want to have another major surgery at my age. Hoping medical science has come up with some new non-invasive treatment. Took the insurance company 3 months to find the file.
Since I am on PAC, I haven't been able to see a specialist for quite awhile. My old neurologist put me out on disability almost 4 years ago to hopefully slow down the damage being done (I used to manage restaurants) but because PAC doesn't cover specialists she dropped me. I have been fighting with Social Security since then. My primary care doctor has been handling my pain management on a temporary basis, but she now says I am getting worse and my mobility is really decreasing to the point that I need to use a cane. I am finally up for a hearing with SS but don't have a date. (I tried to do the SS thing without an attorney---big mistake).
Thanks for any info.
