Patient Reviews
Sep 02, 2024
After suffering from “sciatic” pain for a couple of months, I finally went to Emerson Hospital’s ER. Thanks to the proactive ER physician I received an MRI and an appointment with Dr. Whitmore; in addition to the severe pain in my left hip, I had been losing function in my left leg. Dr. Whitmore diagnosed my having severe spinal stenosis and a herniated disc and advised my having surgery within the week. I said yes and he handed me off to Amanda who made sure that all the required steps for surgery were performed; she was responsive, effective and compassionate. By the time I had my surgery, my “sciatic” pain had become unbearable, while I continued to lose function in my left leg. Following my surgery, I had zero sciatic pain and only normal post operative pain that lasted for only a couple of weeks and was easy to manage. My post-surgery appointments took place at the Lahey Hospital where I consistently received very kind and informative guidance. A complete 5-Star experience.
