As a Registered Nurse, I assumed living with low back pain was a part of the job. Then, I suffered a traumatic MVA about 12 years ago, which only made my symptoms worse, but treatable with conservative measures. During the past 8-10 months, the pain and radiculopathy had progressed but I pushed on. Finally, my PCP referred me to Dr. Francis. Within 2 weeks….TWO WEEKS…I had my initial visit, my MRI/CT results, and my much-needed surgery. My recovery time has been a fraction of what I expected. And, to my surprise, the pain & other symptoms have resolved. I didn’t realize how much pain I was having until it was gone. Although I’m a RN, Dr. Francis explained in great detail his findings, the results of the imaging studies, and the procedure I was to undergo as well as the aspects of recovery. I can’t thank him (and his wonderful staff) enough for making this such an easy decision as well as a successful outcome. I cannot say ‘thank you’ enough.
