Patient Testimonials

Patient Mark Price, back at what he loves to do after surgery peformed by Dr. Schiffer.

Read testimonials of the patients that underwent back or neck surgery performed by Dr. Schiffer.

Claudia: I feel that it was a blessing that I was able to find you to do the surgery and I am so happy that I chose the CED procedure instead of a fusion... This fall, my husband, Bob, and I took our Harleys and we rode all the way to Branson, Missouri and back! All total was 5,500 miles!

Richard:I was eventually diagnosed as having a herniated disc which was confirmed as a left L4-5 bulge on an MRI exam... Now, I seldom think about my back, I am pain free, all lower extremity symptoms have resolved, and I am able to participate in all physical activities without discomfort just as I did before the herniated discs occurred.

Phil: It’s been almost 1 year
since my CED procedure and I
am very pleased with the results. Improvement was evident immediately post op, allowing me to spend the entire next day sightseeing with my wife. Avoiding the use of narcotic pain meds was a huge plus since I do not tolerate their side effects. I still cannot believe that this much simpler procedure saved me from the more invasive level 2 cervical fusion that appeared to be my only option before learning of your CED procedure.
