He explained the surgery very clearly, showed me on the Xrays what he would do. He said that if I were 10 or 15 years younger, he would definitely recommend it, but because of my age, the situation probably would not get a whole lot worse, and let me know it was up to me whether to have it or not. I decided that same day to do it, just to prevent any chance of my spinal cord getting pinched. Just had my 6 month follow up, and he cleared me to go back to horseback riding. Yay!

Doctor Binnahil was very upfront. He did a great job of explaining my condition and made sure that I understood that surgery was not necessary and that it would not be beneficial so instead of trying to make money off of my physical condition he was more concerned with my actual well-being and treated me as a human not a cash cow

I met with Dr. Binnahil for my initial consultation which will lead to back surgery. I was impressed with his level of care. He was thorough and did not rush through our consultation. Dr. Binnahil took the time to understand where I am at on this journey and was sympathetic to my current pain levels.
