Patient Reviews
Nov 04, 2019
I lived in pain for over 15 years-off/on. No doctor gave me any diagnosis that was applicable to my situation-arthritis, etc. at 40 years old. Immediately, upon review of my MRI, Dr. Beckerer knew I needed a double discectomy, just before I experienced permanent nerve damage. Don't listen to your doctor, if it's cronic, it's serious. Seek a specialist for a complete diagnosis. Dr. Beckerer literally saved my life!
