Patient Reviews
May 15, 2024
Dr Francavilla did my Lumbar Microdiscectomy at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama in 2003 and I've been amazed at how well it went. I was back to work a few weeks after surgery and have worked the last 21 years. He saw how scared I was when he said I needed surgery and was very patient with me while he explained all the pros and cons, what to expect after surgery, and how he would do the surgery. He's the absolute best!
