Patient Reviews
Jan 17, 2023
I had spinal decompression in September 2022 and then again January 2023 on L4/L5. Each side was done a bit differently, due to my diagnoses. I had already seen physical therapists and pain management doctors, and within minutes of reading the imaging, Dr. Fisher was able to diagnose my problems. My pain immediately disappeared after having the first surgery, and I'm still going through the healing process of the second. I have already recommended Dr. Fisher to friends and family that have back pain issues. I highly recommend Dr. Fisher for spinal pain issues.
