Oboyy..this will be a pent up long one folks so dig in....1st doc to legit listen when I went in...even after a l4/l5 fusion docs don't want to listen when you tell them youre in pain with nerve or bone on bone ...id bet if they or their loved one had this searing pain they'd be intently listening...anyways after her assessment dr idema identified 1 of my probs that 2 neuros, 3 orthopedics, and 1 hip specialist failed to accomplish in multiple visits ....i truly wish I could have had her
for this entire back pain /groin pain leg pain journey that the accident caused ... heck I wish she'd have been the one to perform my fusion...as I know for a fact that I wouldn't have suffered anywhere near as long as I was forced to endure which I come to find out was the reult of a lack of education on all their part....now if this beauty of bone can solve my 2nd problem I will avow now and forever more that this gal walks on water !!! ...yes she's THAT astute folks ...i made a
20 yr career out of attention to detail and can state that sadly some are stuck in their degrees and their textbook telling them that A+B has to equal C...Dr idema has 0 issues going outside the box and iniating an attack on pain from a different angle...after you see enough "specialists ' you'll quickly pick up on who " has it " and who doesn't ..and its alson clear most docs are either too lazy too ego swole or simply lack the education to handle their patients problems properly !!! ...in fact, my surgeon who performed my lumbar fusion, on my 3 month followup with him , I explained my issue was getting worse ..the same issue I complained about BEFORE fusion mind you...his solution was the pain clinic ( the same clinic that sent me to him ) I said
"" why would I return to where I had just come from if surgery is the next tier?? what was even the point of your surgery ??? ..I continued to state "it's OK I know its my si joint duke as it's already been confirmed " ...his response was " by whom if I may ask"...I said " Dr idema" ...to which he retorted
"ooo you went to JOCELYN Well you're in good hands with her she definitely knows her stuff and about s.i. joints " I said
" well if that's true why didn't you just send me to her when I probed you on this matter months ago " ...His whole demeanor instantly changed n went from
-know it all - to almost humble...as he said " I didn't know how far you were willing to travel"...like are u kiddin me ??? To escape this perpetual hell I'd endure a 12 hr drive
(Rt now an 45 minutes is my max ) ...as I left he said "for your 6 month followup you can make an appointment or you just have Jocelyn take a peek at you...no worries DUKE T. I won't be back ...for 45 yrs of my life I was always working n didnt know so many ppl are run and in out like a car wash for them to get to the next one in the waiting room that will be their next paycheck...sooooo friggin reassuring to come across one who gives you her time where you're heard instead of silenced for the instant you feel you're no longer being heard folks...is the time to run folks..as they no longer care about you..you have to be your biggest advocate .

I was very impressed with Dr. Idema and her staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, took their time with me, no rush. Dr. Idema has a great personality and makes you feel very comfortable but confident in her expertise. I’ve already referred 2 friends to Steel City Spine!

Awesome! For one, I was so surprised to get an appointment the day after I requested one online ( a Sunday even). Dr. Idema listened to what I had to say and understood that I had back surgery before and this case was similar. She ordered an MRI without hesitation to speed up the process! If you have had a herniated disk before, you know the pain is unbearable.
