Wendi had excruciating leg pain from a herniated disc that prevented her from doing what she loves. After trying all the non-surgical options, she opted to undergo an endoscopic microdiscectomy.

Endoscopic spine surgery is a new technique only offered by a handful of surgeons in the country. Using a small fiberoptic camera the size of a ballpoint pen and specialized tools, I was able to remove the disc herniation and get Wendi back in action. Immediately after the procedure she felt improvement in her pain and she went home only a few hours after the procedure!

Mike was experiencing constant severe pain shooting down his leg — he couldn’t walk, sit, or sleep without pain for months. He’d tried physical therapy, medications, and injections all without lasting relief. Since he exhausted all non-operative options we decided to move forward with a minimally invasive lumbar fusion. Using 2 fingertip-sized incisions, I released the pressure on his nerve and stabilized his spine with screws.

Surgery went smoothly, and he went home hours after surgery! Days later he was only taking Tylenol for pain, and two weeks after surgery he had no pain whatsoever! He is now back to his normal life. Hear what Mike has to say about the experience in this short video!
