Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Varies: You would be well served to see an orthopedic surgeon with your history of previous surgeries and the severe pain you are having. It varies based from doctor to doctor whether or not a referral is needed or you can just call and make an appointment. Most physicians now days have a web site and have information listed on the site about how to get an appointment.
