Patient Reviews
Mar 29, 2021
In June of 2020, I saw Dr. Kerr in Seattle for chronic pain caused by disc damage and deterioration at multiple levels in both my cervical and lumbar spinal areas from an accident. Dr. Kerr came highly recommended from his years of experience working with trauma patients in Afghanistan, and in Alaska and Washington State. He was super nice, knowledgeable, and his words were comforting as we looked at my X-rays and MRIs and he explained in detail the two spine surgeries I needed to get back to the healthy, active lifestyle I’d enjoyed before my accident. He instilled the confidence I needed to move forward. In Sept 2020 he performed a multilevel ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) that resolved the pain in my upper back and in January 2021, with severe sciatica extending down both my legs, he proceeded with the surgery on my lower back, performing the Multi-level Lumbar Spinal Fusion surgery on L4, L5, and S1, resolving my sciatic and lower back pain! Thank you, Dr. Kerr!!
