I was raised in Iowa. My mom and dad didn’t believe in going to doctors. When I was 16, we were putting a new roof on our shop and I slipped and fell. I fell 20 feet and landed on my back. I continued working through the pain for the next 33 years. Upon returning from a road trip to Maryland and back to Texas I was and able to lift my right leg to get in my work truck. I went home and Payne hoping to see my family doctor. I saw my doctor the next day and had an MRI. I was referred to Dr. FRANCIS for in a valuation. I saw Dr. FRANCIS on June 2 and had surgery on June 22. The pressure on my spinal cord was relieved immediately. After physical therapy, I was able to return to work on October 10. Live well physical therapy, upon Dr. Francis’s recommendation, was instrumental to my recovery. Since surgery my daily life has improved and I don’t live with the pain I had before. My mobility and flexibility have also improved. I would recommend SPINE ASSOCIATES to my friends and relatives because Dr. Francis is tops and explaining everything and provides surgical excellence. I value the speed and skill shown by Dr. FRANCIS and his staff. Dr. Francis’ explanation of the plan of care was what convinced me that he was the right person to do my surgery.
