I also was a patient of his back in 2001 for a IDET Procedure which stands for intradiskal electro thermal therapy it was supposed to be a substitution for disc fusion it was on my L4, L5 s1, because I was only 25 and very strong and healthy Young man I was in construction and professional sports like kickboxing and weight training so he said I would be a perfect candidate that the procedure would get me back to doing those things again. Boy was he wrong from almost immediately after the surgery I was in lots of pain and I knew something was wrong and that the surgery didn’t feel like it was a good thing, but of course doctors always say it’s in your head or your fault and that postop downtime and physical therapy would be anywhere from six months to nine months , so anyway long story short 20+ years later I’m still dealing with chronic low back pain, sciatica, pinched nerves never been able to keep a job longer than a year cause always re-injuring that area. There’s more I could talk about this subject but you get the point anyway, I definitely regret having this surgery and meeting Dr. Kamson…

I didn't know that Kampson died. I was one of his patients some years ago. I hope he died in less pain that his surgeries caused me. As we all know, his license to practice medicine was suspended for a while, but he was back at it later, having satisfied certain conditions such as being supervised and having taken some courses in medical ethics. He was talented but he sadly succumbed to greed.

Ok folks, this is another story of this now dead fake of a spine surgeon. He operated on my wife three times before we said enough. Also, he was dying of pancreatic cancer when operating and did not disclose this. His sidekick was a Dr. Richard Rooney a convicted felon. What follows is summary of his assault on my wife. FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WE CAN DO THIS AGAINST HIS ESTATE.
Summary of Events
1. 02/05/2019, 1st surgery, Start of Laminectomy and Lumbar Fusion
In this instance Dr. Kamson started a laminectomy and Lumbar fusion which lasted approximately 5-7hours. He stated after the surgery that he ordered the wrong screws, so he said to go home and come back in a week. He communicated that My wife was very unstable and to be careful. She was in extreme pain.

2. 02/12/2019, 2nd surgery, Continuation of Laminectomy and Lumbar Fusion
in this surgery we don’t know exactly what Dr. Kamson did as he needed to complete what he tried to do in surgery number 1 where he had ordered the incorrect screws. We think it was to complete the Lumbar fusion and install the correct instrumentation that he failed to do previously.

This surgery lasted approximately 5-7 hours also. After this surgery he said he could not do everything he needed to complete the surgery. This was because existing hardware was in the way, so he needed to do another surgery to remove the old instrumentation. My wife was in extreme pain from this surgery also.

3. 04/18/2019 or 05/08/2019, 3rd surgery, Continuation and completion of Laminectomy and Lumbar Fusion
As with surgery number 1, we don’t know exactly what he did but he took out the old instrumentation and installed the new. I would say then that the laminectomy and lumbar fusion were completed after this third surgery. Please note that we do not know if he actually replaced instrumentation or not.
This surgery lasted approximately 5-7 hours also. Dr. Kamson took out old hardware and installed all new, but he stated that he left a screw in My wife’s back that was loose, and it is still there My wife was in pain from this surgery also which continues.

Don't worry this terrible physician who should have lost his license long ago passed away (or faked his death and fled the country). It is sad how long he, an anesthesiologist, was allowed to practice as a spine surgeon and ruin so many lives. I'm sorry to all who have been operated on by him and understand your loss of trust in medicine.

Hilarious comment by the person mad for the bad reviews. 😂😂😂

I'm pretty sure positive reviews have to be as fake as he is. PLEASE read his Yelp reviews for true experiences. Also, Google his name and the word "malpractice"! He botched my surgeries and I'm ruined for life. Lesson learned. Research. I highly recommend going straight to the Medical Board of Washington for starters. He is an anesthesiologist performing surgeries he is not qualified to do. Very dangerous. No hospitals will allow him to practice with him. Hence private office. I'm mystified why this state continues to allow him to practice when other states (California , Alaska...) have permanently revoked his license. My new surgeon said I'm lucky to be "alive and walking" after reviewing images of Kamson's attempted surgeries. He also had paid to have his court docs concealed after I've exposed them. There were about 15 pages as him as a defendant. Everything I said here, I would say to his face. He should be ashamed himself for putting people's lives in danger. He used Dilaudid for sedation during my surgeries. I woke up during both of them. That was quite frightening, alone.

I was searching a data base for bad doctors and Dr. Solomon Kamson is on it and it said he had his license revoked or was on probation for five years. I'd do my due diligence

Rude and unprofessional, could not stop for 2 minutes to answer and of my very valid questions (funny me - I want answers after being told I should have neck surgery).

And finally, I nearly had to fight them to get my MRI discs back - they acted shocked and pissy that I would dare to get a second opinion for something so major.
