Patient Reviews
May 31, 2024
Dr. Arakal performed surgery on L3 to L5. The procedure went very well and I was in the hospital a total of 5 days. On the second day after surgery, I was able to walk the length of the hospital hallways with out the use of walkers or canes. I am continuing to improve daily.
