Dr. Rhodes has received tremendous support from doctors over the past 23 years. While some have come to respect his expertise as a colleague, others have come to respect his abilities for treatment of their own ailments. MRI is now widely accepted as being the investigation of choice for the entire spine, but particularly the neck. Conventional MR imaging usually only provides us with anatomic detail. With the Rhodes apparatus, we are now able to investigate physiological changes such as instability, ligamentous laxity and whiplash injuries. I
have for several years referred patients for neck and back pain
and radicular complaints to Dr. Rhodes. His skill in diagnosis and
treatment of these conditions is superb. I will continue utilizing
his service. My suspicions were confirmed with your new flexion-extension technique. Seven out of eight patients referred for flexion/extension MRIs, who had previous MRIs with only minimal or negative results, but with with a high clinical index of suspicions on my part were, in fact, confirmed by having HNP [Head & Neck Pain] by the new technique. I congratulate you on its development. It will remain in our armamentarium for a long time to come. |
