Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2024
After limping around and restricting my life for almost 2 years, I finally decided to have the surgery. My life is now and there’s a lot more living to do. Dr. Forshaw snipped away that piece of disk pressing on the sciatic nerve causing crippling pain. Like he said, I was back on my feet that day. Painkiller free by day two and progressing everyday. Feel like a new man. Within 3 weeks I was walking 2 miles a day and enjoying PT. I highly recommend Dr Forshaw for relieving sciatica with the minimally invasive surgery.
