Second Opinion

Second opinions are almost always a good idea. There are a variety of ways to treat spine problems and not every surgeon has the same philosophy or training. Others may only know a few surgical options. 

Dr. Frederik Pennings is the only spine surgeon in Western Massachusetts that routinely performs more than 30 different procedures. His extensive training allows him to truly custom-tailor the best surgical approach for you.

Dr. Frederik Pennings is the only spine surgeon in the area offering both Cervical and Lumbar artificial discs along with other motion preservation technologies.
​
​Dr. Pennings has utilized artificial discs for over 17 years. He has extensive experience. If you have been offered a spinal fusion it is possible your surgeon has not been trained on artificial discs.
