Prior to being referred to Dr. Francis, I felt as if my life as I formerly knew it was over. I had been very active, but had become virtually bedridden due to my severe low back pain and leg weakness. When I did walk, it was with a cane and not for a long distance. The disc replacement surgery has freed me from constant pain and I feel renewed. I have returned to work as a high school teacher, wife and mother and once again enjoy long walks with my dog, Vegas. I thank God for bringing Dr. Francis to me.
