I have spent the last eight years of my life in chronic severe pain. All of the doctors I had seen before Dr. Francis, in regards to my back pain, have told me that nothing could be done for me and surgery was not an option for me. One doctor in the past actually told me that my problem was that I had no tolerance for pain! When I finally met Dr. Francis and became his patient, it was a Godsend. He found that I did have very serious spinal (lumbar) problems and had been suffering too much pain for too long. He did my lumbar fusion surgery and I no longer have chronic pain everyday and night controlling my life. Dr. Francis has given back to me a more active life without daily pain. I am now able to do things that I have not been able to do for 10 years! I thank God for bringing me to Dr. Francis.
