For over 12 years I was functioning as best I could with sciatica, bilateral neuropathy, and impaired gait. I finally found the time and motivation to seek a surgical solution to this chronic condition since conservative therapies were only temporary fixes. I am a very active, athletic 44 year old male who isn't ready for the rocking chair.

Working in the medical field I am accustomed to calling the medical staff offices of hospitals to ask for a professional referral to the top specialists on their staff. I found an incredible young neurosurgeon at Duke who specializes in spinal reconstruction.

To me this man is a GOD considering what I endured for 12 years, now how I feel now, just 2 months following a double lumbar fusion with double disc replacement. I have 2 colleagues preparing for the same surgery later this year, and I have NO reservations recanting my experiences to anyone interested.
