Jul 14, 2024
I am one year post TLIF today! I am doing better than I have in years. Living life again! My back looks great. You cannot even see the scar or tell I had surgery unless you are looking up close.I have nothing but high praise for Dr. Onyekwelu, Alexandria Peterson PA, and the entire staff . I highly recommend this group, and do so every chance I can get. I will definitely come back for any future needs. The staff responded quickly and thoroughly with every question and communication that I had. I am not always easily impressed, but I was beyond satisfied with this group. High praise to Dr O!!!
