For the longest period of time I have had severe headaches and back pain that have been non-stop. I went through several sessions of injections for my neck and lower back only giving relief for no more than two days at a time. Upon seeing Dr. Francis and his staff I knew I was in the right hands to get my problems of my spine/neck/headaches relieved. My wife and I did do a lot of research of Dr. Francis and Foundation Surgical Hospital in Houston and we were very pleased with the results and feedback that we found. I had back surgery in December of 2009. Yes at first there was a lot of pain after surgery but I followed directions and I did my physical therapy and did the prescribed exercises at home and now I see myself at a point of being almost normal today. My pain is gone; I just have a little fatigue to any kind of heavy work. Before my symptoms began, I had always been a very hard working and aggressive person. I participated in sports, outdoor activities, landscaping, etc. Overall, my back feels great! Better than it ever has before. After my neck surgery in March of 2010 the headaches are gone and I have no more ringing in my ears. Again, I followed the prescribed exercise regiment needed to increase the strength and flexibility in my back and neck. The pain is gone and I haven’t felt this good and pain-free in years. The surgery performed by Dr. Francis was outstanding. The hospital staff at Foundation Surgical Hospital was great. Everyone listened to me and my wife’s needs in getting me physically fit and getting me back to myself. I work at a hardware and lumber store and performance at work has drastically improved. I have so much relief because of what everyone has done; both professional and emotionally supportive. I am so relieved, happy, overly joyed on how everything has turned out. I just want to include one last thing. I love to do archery competition shooting and I can now draw my equipment without any pain and I am able to get back into my sport after 2 years of not being able to participate. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN…VERY MUCH. God Bless You All
