Micheal Burkholder – Lumbar & Cervical Fusion Surgeries

Dr. Jeffrey CarlsonI first had the opportunity to meet Dr. Jeffrey Carlson when he performed a neck fusion on my wife. I was impressed by how much he cared for his patients and his great expertise. I myself had been diagnosed with a fractured L5 by the US Army in 1984 and was informed then that I would require a lumbar fusion sometime in the future.

Well, I was finally able to receive Dr. Carlson’s medical review and recommendations for a fusion procedure (L5-S1), which was performed in March 2020. I was out cutting up trees and spitting wood 3 months later, with no limitations or pain.

Then, in August 2021, Dr. Carlson performed a C5-C6-C7 fusion, due to disintegrated disks. I was out umpiring baseball and doing my normal work two weeks later with no or pain. I have not lost hardly any mobility in my neck or back and do not suffer from any more pain.

I highly recommend Dr. Carlson to anyone who is suffering from back and neck pains. Very professional and efficient in his treatment of his patients.
