Having heard many horror stories about lower back surgeries I was a bit apprehensive about having my back operation. Because of the type of surgery needed my local back specialist recommended I see Dr. Lawrence and I am certainly appreciative he did. After over a year of pain temporarily relieved by epidurals by my local doctor I am happy to say I am pain free after surgery by Dr. Lawrence and am recovering nicely. I will say I have to be really patient to follow the restrictions for bending, lifting, and twisting because I feel so much better but they’re only for a few months and I don’t want to do this again. Dr. Lawrence and his staff have been very positive throughout my procedure and the follow up texts kept me assured I am on the right track for complete healing.
