I'm a lucky girl to have been referred to Dr. Aferzon almost 10 years ago! He changed my life for the better by performing my back surgery when no one else would. After several years of injections with no relief he scheduled my surgery and a week after my first appointment I was walking and had a new lease on life. Wonderful surgeon and thankful every day!
