Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2021
Dr. Citow is an excellent neurosurgeon. I suffered from spinal stenosis and two cysts in the lumbar region of my spine. Using minimally invasive surgery, he performed a hemilaminectomy and removed both a synovial and tarlov cyst. Now almost 3 months later I have absolutely no sciatica pain down my left leg and few aches in my lower back. I had physical therapy which also helped a lot. Dr. Citow gave me back my life. I am now more active and can enjoy doing the things I previously gave up on because of constant pain.
