From an excruciating , screaming pain and a near complete disability to a pain free life, my husband’s condition today is not far from a miracle. Dr. Richard Francis, an exceptionally gifted doctor who has granted my husband his normal life back, performed this miracle.
My husband had a decompression back surgery performed by Curaspine in November 2015. After this surgery, his pain was not improving at all — on the contrary it was worsening day by day. The doctor who performed this surgery recommended a steroid cortisone injection , performed without any results while the pain severely continued to increase. My husband was confined to a bed, lying on his back, the only position that would allow some pain relief. Curaspine suggested the heat procedure to be performed next but we completely lost faith after two previously failed procedures . I have requested a discussion on the phone with the Curaspine doctor but he refused to return my call. While my husband could not move even to go to the restroom I was very worried, disappointed , frustrated and enraged by Curaspine’s incompetence and lack of consideration.
I started searching the internet and by the grace of God we found Dr. Richard Francis. When I called his office I was very emotional and scared because I did not know what was going to happen to my husband who was screaming in pain attempting to turn his body in bed. Marsha, one of his office assistants answered the phone and she arranged an appointment for the very next day. That very next day Dr. Francis evaluated my husband’s condition and ordered all of the necessary tests and procedures that were done right there in the same day. All of his staff was so amazingly helpful! Jodie, another office assistant was just so great! It was a long day beginning at 6 am but by 7 pm we knew that my husband needed a one level spine fusion surgery.
Dr. Francis performed a spine fusion surgery by the end of December and only three weeks after this major surgery, my husband’s life is back to normal, pain free! Amazing! Thank you, Richard Francis, we will forever be grateful and will never forget you and the precious gift of life you have given to my husband! You are an amazing doctor! God bless you!
