Dr. Brayton did my back surgery and said everything went well.  When I started having significant pain again, only 2 months later, I was told by his nurse that the doctor wouldn't see me any more because there was nothing else he could do for me.  I tried several times to reschedule, but each time I was turned away.  I've been to 2 pain clinics, had too many injections, and seen 2 more doctors. They call my case "failed back surgery" syndrome. I was told that some surgeons refuse to see patients when the surgery has failed because they don't want to count that failure on their record.
Shame on you, John Brayton!
