"From the first visit I felt like everybody cared. Everybody was pleasant and very helpful. Any question I had were answered, everything was explained to me in detail and all appointments were scheduled for me. All I had to do was show up. My surgery to fuse L4 and L5 with a few rods and screws to secure everything gave me a quality of life back I never thought possible. Very little pain from surgery and 7 days after surgery I was doing many of the things I was unable to do for years! Five weeks past surgery and I just go about my day doing everything with no pain. I am careful of how I lift and twist my body and am still working on strengthen my back muscles. One talented and gifted Doctor fixed my back and gave me an opportunity to follow through on his work by doing my part to regain a quality of life for myself. It is the best decision I ever made and with an unbelievable positive outcome." – Leroy M.
