Patient Reviews
Mar 06, 2021
After weeks of PT and a couple of cortisone injections Dr Nehls performed a laminectomy and microdiscectomy on L4-L5 for me in September 1996, and I had as close to a 100% recovery as you could ask for. In November of 2020 after 24 pain free years, I managed to injure my low back again. I’m going through the same process of PT now, and if necessary injections and I’m hoping I won’t need to have another surgery. But if I do, Dr Nehls would be my first choice.
