Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2024
Dr. Shafizadeh performed an emergency lumbar laminectomy fusion for me. I had been fine one day and then began to have little pains in my buttocks when walking on my right leg. I went to my orthopedist who felt it was my hip. He ordered physical therapy but because my condition deteriorated so quickly, I had to stop. Within a period of three weeks, I went from walking to not being able to walk. I was transported by paramedics from my home and subsequently had the surgery. The surgery left me with a left leg which would not support my weight. I understand, from my other doctors as well as Dr. Shafizadeh that this is common. I have gone from not being able to bear weight on that leg to being able to now walk in my home a lot of the time without the walker. This has been really good progress in a relatively short time. I have seen Dr. Shafizadeh twice since the surgery. He has been very helpful in explaining the surgery, my progress and potential prognosis. I have learned a lot from him!
