Our Offices
Due to the breadth of services we provide, insurance and equipment issues, it is necessary for us to practice out of several locations each with different capabilities.  What is safe and comfortable in one place, may not be so at another site-of-service. 

From purely an insurance standpoint we may need to take you to Wyandot as a "Critical Access Hospital" in order to get your procedure covered, paid for, or "cost-covered" by your insurance, especially if you are a Medicaid beneficiary.  This sounds unnecessarily complex, and we agree that it is a bit silly, but we don't live in a perfect world, we live in this one.  And, this is the best we can do as we struggle to offer what is both state-of-the-art and the standard-of-care to even the poorest Americans.

Main Office:  

This building is part of the MedCentral Hospital campus, and is on the same block and side of street as the Emergency Room entrance.
Most referrals called are called into this site.

We started here on Jan 31st, 2008, and could not be happier in our new home away form home.  This is a great place.  Everyone has been helpful and the COO  Mr. Ty Shaull has become our favorite hospital administrator of all time.  We initially came to this facility once an month, but are now rendering services at this facility twice a month. 

We have never been treated so well.
We have basically established a regular clinic at this site providing the full range of rehabilitation medicine, pharmacologic pain management, EMG/NCS, and Interventional Pain Management as well as spasticity management and minimally invasive spine care.  We can provide Botox, Baclofen, Nucleoplasty and all the other basic services on our homepage.  

We are pleased to help the community by having provided both thermal radiofrequency and pulsed-radiofrequency at this site since day one.

We are excited now we have brought percutaneous disk decompression, Nucleoplasty, (Arthrocare SpineWand) to this facility.  

We are pleased to announce we have now started to provide Spinal Cord Stimulation (dorsal column stimulation) 

and

recently we have started providing Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty services at this facility.



It has been said that "When you see a turtle up on top of a telephone pole you know he didn't get there by himself".

Credit should be given to Mr. Shaull and the staff of the outpatient specialty clinic at this facility.  We also thank the OR staff for adapting so quickly to new things and enabling us to perform so efficiently at this site.

We enjoy a working relationship with an operating neurosurgeon and now an orthopaedic surgeon who currently also has an established clinic at this site.

Go Wyandot! or "Upper" as they call it. 

Trivia:  The locals staff states that Upper Sandusky is actually south of Sandusky and seems to be named "Upper" because it is geographically at a higher elevation.  We didn't say it was useful trivia, just that it was trivia.

DUE  TO MULTIPLE BREAK-INS, SIGNIFICANT  GANG GRAFITTI AND GANG-RELATED CRIMES IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY WE REGRET THAT WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO SERVICE THIS OFFICE


The above photos speak of clear gang activity.

                                         PLEASE SEE STATEMENT BELOW

LETTER SENT TO YOUR PRIMARY AND/OR REFERRING DOCTOR

 

 

 

                                                                                                    November 13, 2007

 

 

It is my sad duty to inform you that the Saturday Spine Clinic office we have been operating at 147 Schoolhouse Lane, Columbus, OH will be closing.   It has been a pleasure to work with you and assist in the care of your patients.

 

This comes in the wake of our most recent of three significant vandalisms, an armed-robbery adjacent to us wherein a firearm was discharged, a stabbing and a supposedly a murder all within a short span.  We are far from being pushed-out or intimidated.  We are well-aware of many elderly legitimate patients who are essentially trapped in their homes due to recent crime and gang activity in that neighborhood.  We succeeded in providing state-of-the-art comprehensive care in the community.  I thank my staff for making it possible that we can put our outcomes, continuity, follow-up, peer-reviewed publications, safety record and the accuracy of our image-guided interventional management side-by-side with any quaternary level center in this country.  However, this comes at a price and in the face of other factual stressors that include declining reimbursement, rising overhead, 2 out of 3 patients diagnosed with concomitant or primary substance-abuse disorders, a 96% non-compliance rate on urine drug screens, poor police response, and regular direct verbal threats from patients, I feel I can no longer risk the safety of my staff.

 

New patients will be received in consultation up to Dec 1, 2007 and established patients will be notified before the end of the year.  No one will be abandoned.  Every patient has the option to be seen in the Mansfield office and we are considering looking for a new home in Columbus.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if I can be of any specific assistance,
