Patient Reviews
Jun 26, 2022
Dr. Pickett performed a laminectomy at L4 to remove a tumor attack to the nerves in my spinal cord in 2011, I have not suffered hardly any pain and I'm forever grateful he accepted the challenge to remove the tumor, the pain of a spinal cord tumor is unimaginable to anyone who hasn't had one. Yeah you read that right, he removed a tumor in/on my spinal cord, I'm still amazed that he could do that and here I am eleven years later, walking pain free.
