Patient Reviews
May 21, 2024
Dr. Gruft is one of many doctors who finally got it in prescribing the proper pain medication to give me relief so that I may move around during the day and sleep at night. I must sleep on my back and that is where all of my pain comes from. I have Degenerative Disc Disease, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, Facet Arthropathy, Lumbosacral Neuritis, and Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis). Thanks to the medication (I have tried everything, but Methadone is the only one that works.
