Maureen Hutchens – Spine Surgery

I was unaware of impending back issues when I awoke one morning in July 2010 unable to stand up straight. I had always been apprehensive about back surgery in general, but after listening to Dr. Jeffery Carlson I was reassured that microdiskectomy was the way to end the pain from my herniated disc. He was right.

When I woke up from surgery I immediately felt immense relief. After 5-6 weeks I had fully recovered with no residual ill effects.

I feel that everyone at OSC played their part in making my outpatient surgery a smooth sequence of events. From the moment that the appointments are scheduled, everyone greets you with a smile and a very professional manner. It is a very great convenience that x-ray and MRI services are available on site. Follow-up care is very thorough. I had several questions after I got home, and when I called the office a woman named Barbara Tuori was most helpful and I certainly feel like I owe her many thanks for being available and for her kindness.

Dr. Carlson has my total gratitude and respect. I am delighted to recommend him and the entire office, especially to anyone who might be hesitating about seeking help for orthopedic issues.
