Clavenna Andrew L MD

I was misdiagnosed by not one, but two orthopedic doctors, who told me that I had acetabular dysplasia in my right hip. The second doctor recommended that I find a surgeon who could perform a periacetabular osteotomy (a major surgery that would break my pelvis and reconstruct my hip socket).
Long story short, I was saved by a third doctor who told me that nothing was wrong with my hip. He was the specialist surgeon who knows how to perform the difficult operation. He explained that my symptoms were not hip related, rather, they were sciatic in nature (shooting pains from my hip to my feet, numbing, tingling). He recommended I see Dr. Clavenna, who specializes in spinal surgery.
I saw Dr. Clavenna, was immediately diagnosed, had a micro-​discectomy, and am now back to work and enjoying life again. Good thing I didn’t go through a terrible (life altering) surgery that would require me to be out for 6 months! Dr. Clavenna was knowledgeable, attentive, efficient and kind. He has been by far the best doctor!
