Outcomes:

I had a back fusion done by Dr. Wupperman in early 2014. He made a major mistake during the surgery, which he admitted ...to. He operated on the wrong vertebra. I had a surgery done which I did not need nor want. His error can not be corrected. I am in more discomfort now than before the surgery. He may be a good doctor but he for sure made a major mistake. I will have to live with his error forever. more details
