Dowdle comes up as no malpractice but this is wrong i filed malpractice suit againt him and went to trial in 2006. for him misplacing a pedicle screw in my l-4 nerve permantly injuring my left leg. leaving me permantly disabled I no longer work had to leave job i loved of almost 10 yrs. left me in pain for rest of my life and depression to say the least. luckily he can't do surg anymore because of plane accident but does do back injections. do your homework when it comes to back drs. this one should just retire. good luck to you.
