Patient Testimonials

My lower back had hurt for as long as I could remember even as a child. Standing was very painful; sometimes almost impossible. With every step it felt like I was being stabbed in the back and the pain radiated down my leg to my knee, sometimes to my foot. It had gotten so bad I was staring to hunch forward when I walked. I did everything I could to ease the pain. I exercised regularly, saw a chiropractor regularly, did back decompression, and even went to an acupuncturist. None of those things helped me. Having back surgery completely changed my life. I didn't know what it was like to live without back pain and now I do. I can move freely without pain. I can run, stand, sit, exercise, bend, lift. I even played on a volleyball team and on a basketball team 6 months after the surgery. And my husband will tell you I am a much nicer wife and mother. I didn't realize how much the pain was ruling my life until it was gone

Procedure/Treatment: Lumbar Laminectomy w/fusion

The results were beyond my expectations. I felt better immediately following the procedure, and my husband says I'm even better than I was before. The recovery time was very short, and I only needed a few months of physical therapy as a follow-up.

Before my Spinal Fusion I had severe pain down my left leg and my back pain left me totally incapacitated. Dr. Wasserman explained the procedure so we all understood it. The surgery was a success and all of the pain was gone from my leg. He has an excellent bedside manner and I felt very confident that everything was done to take care of my pain. We highly recommend him.
