Jan 19, 2023
My name is Maricela González de Álamo Tx.. on August 3 Dr. Esses did a surgery on my spine.. here in McAllen they didn't want to take care of me.My pain was very strong.. they gave me an injection. They sent me to therapy and it didn't work, my pain was so strong that it prevented me from doing my daily activities, such as walking, sitting down and I decided to look for myself without any reference a Dr. In Houston, I had always heard that the best doctors were there. I started looking and I found Dr. Sthepen Esses and I read that he was an excellent I spoke and they told me that I didn't need a reference, they gave me an appointment the following week, and in two weeks he did the surgery... it was very painful because I had to travel from Houston to McAllen Tx. 2 weeks passed, I returned to my first date and I didn't feel any improvement... a month passed, another month and I felt the same, I felt a lot of pain, He told me that it was a long process and that I had to wait. I felt my legs numb. I heard that therapeutic yoga was excellent exercises. I started my exercises and started taking vitamins B6, B1 and B12. Thank God and Dr. Esses at 4 and a half months old and I don't feel anymore my legs numbs, and my pain is almost or less than 20%. I continue with my yoga and chair exercises. Iam feeling very good. THANK YOU DR. STEPHENS ESSES AND HIS STAFF. I ALREADY RECOMMENDED IT TO TWO PEOPLE. 100% RECOMMENDED. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND DEDICATED.
