Patient Reviews
Mar 24, 2021
In September 9, 2009, I had L4 and L5 disks fused by Dr. P. Kuflik and for the following ten years life was heaven. He was an amazing, highly experienced, professional surgeon whose first option is NOT surgery but focus on my long ferm wellbeing. He strongly encouraged various therapies before even settling for surgery. Unfortunately, my condition worsen and we agreed on surgery. Currently, for the past 2 years, my lower back has started to hurt again but I'm in therapy. Should I find myself struggling and suffering s I did in the past, there's no doubt that Dr. Kuflik will be my first choice for a second surgery. Thank you so much Dr. K. You're hands give life and hope, ?.
