Jun 17, 2023
I was on the phone frequently d/t my job/speaking with this office. When all of a sudden, I couldn’t move my rt arm, I called the MOST AWESOME JOYCE in 2011, who said come right over. He saw me, I had no reflexes and my arm was in a bent position, SENT ME FOR STAT MRI~~~ that SHOWED NOTHING! (IMAGING IS ONLY AS GOOD AS TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS!) I, AS AN RN, TRUSTED HIM AND I was in SURGERY in 2 days, FOR DISCECTOMY/laminotomy, at 2 LEVELS, C4-5/5-6! He is the greatest Neurosurgeon I have ever met in my 30 yrs as an RN!! I had success, (C/S) but I ENDED UP needing 2 more L/S surgeries, and I AM DEVASTATED, because he is NOW RETIRED! But SOO THANKFUL my journey was with HIM! I LOVED OUR JOKES and ALWAYS feeling caIm! I will never be able to thank him enough! His LEGACY is one of FEW, OF THIS MAGNITUDE, in my many years OF WORKING with Neurosurgeons!! WE DEFINITELY RETIRED THE BEST! I wish him many happy years to come!! No one DESERVES IT MORE! Thank you for so much, Dr. SPETKA!
