Patient Reviews
Dec 22, 2024
Dr. Knightly, I am beyond grateful for your incredible care and surgical expertise. The minimally invasive micro-neurosurgery you performed on October 10, 2024, to remove the cyst between my L3 and L4 was life-changing. Before surgery, I endured unbearable pain, couldn’t walk without sciatic pain, and struggled with daily tasks. Thanks to your skill, I experienced immediate relief, walked out of the hospital hours later, and returned to my demanding job within four days. By six weeks, I was mountain biking and working out, and by three months, I enjoyed a week-long ski trip. Seven years ago, you resolved my L4-L5 herniation with a minimally invasive solution, avoiding the spinal fusion others recommended. Your approach preserves natural spine mechanics, enabling me to maintain my active lifestyle, including biking, skiing, and kiteboarding. Your expertise has restored my quality of life—twice. For world-class, patient-centered care, I wholeheartedly recommend you.
